Detour, Lanes Blocked Near Snouffer School Road

Pete Piringer, spokesperson for Montgomery County Fire & Rescue tweeted that people should expect delays when driving on Snouffer School Road, between Flower Hill Way and Bonanza Way.

Earlier there was a gas leak, which has since been shut down by Washington Gas. As repairs continue to commence, expect significant delays, as many lanes are currently closed and detours are expected. The police are directing traffic around that area, according to Piringer.
