Last night the Seattle Department of Transportation closed the intersection of Alaskan Way and Seneca Street under the Alaskan Way Viaduct , and also a portion of the street running north from Seneca Street, for Puget Sound Energy due to a leak in the gas line at that location. Puget Sound Energy crews plan to begin working on repairs at approximately 8 a.m. today. The closure will remain in place until repairs are completed.
