PORT RICHEY - PORT RICHEY - Busy U.S. 19 is closed in both directions north of Jasmine Boulevard, while emergency crews try to stop a natural gas leak coming from the Congo River miniature golf course.
The adjacent Holiday Inn Express has been evacuated, and lodgers have been advised not to start their car engines.
The gas leak was first reported at 4:24 p.m., according to Pasco County Fire Rescue officials. Traffic on U.S. 19 was halted in both directions between Jasmine Boulevard to the south and Coventry Drive to the north about 10 minutes ago.
