A propane leak is forcing the temporary closure of a Clewiston restaurant and nearby roads Monday afternoon, according to the Clewiston Police Department.
Police say Taqueria Jalapeños, located off U.S. Highway 27, is closed while crews respond to the leak. The intersection of U.S. 27, San Pedro Street, and the alleyway near Atkinson Funeral Home is also shut down as a safety precaution.
Drivers are urged to avoid the area and use alternate routes. Safety crews remain on scene, and police say updates will be provided once it is safe to reopen.
More information and updates will be available on the Clewiston Police Department's Facebook page.
