NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A steam leak which caused delays during morning rush hour on Manhattan’s east side Tuesday has been closed.

Con Ed says the leak was due to a valve failure rather than a pipe rupture.

There were no injuries and nothing hazardous was released, according to Con Ed.

The roads reopened and the leak was capped at about 8 a.m.
