Northside Drive in Sandy Springs reopens after gas line break

Northside Drive in Sandy Springs is back open Friday morning after a large stretch was shut down due to a gas line break.

City spokesman Dan Coffer said a contractor damaged the 6-inch natural gas line, which shut down the road between Mount Vernon Highway and New Northside Drive just before 4 p.m. Wednesday. The extended closure frustrated motorists trying to get onto nearby I-285.
