Meridian Road reopened Friday morning at 6 a.m. after a gas line explosion closed the road Wednesday.

The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says a gas line exploded Wednesday night east of Colorado Springs in Falcon, on Meridian near Woodmen Road.

The Falcon Fire Department extinguished the resulting fire but remained on scene until Friday morning working to re-construct the gapping hole in the road.

No one was injured in the explosion.

No I.D., No Problem: 11 News Goes Undercover
  • Posted By: PamelaSweet! What a great place to be a teenager! Now your liquor is as easy to get as your drugs! Take that Mr. Establishment (total sarcasm haters)!
  • Posted By: KennaYou make it sound like this happened last night or even within a month!! Truth is Im the bartender @ Porkys and I never gave anyone under 21 a beer!!!!
  • Posted By: Phil DuhonGood reporting, but a little misleading. Porky's was stung in July, the video posted was from July and drastic measures have been taken since and before then to stop underage drinking. A bar or a club have nothing to gain from selling to a minor. I am not disputing this report, but the way it was presented is a little shady. I noticed you used Oscar's as well but failed to report that the sting was un-successful.
