An underground gas explosion at 34th and Ludlow Streets at about 5 p.m. Wednesday caused pavement damage at the southwest corner of the intersection.
Currently, no injuries are reported and no Penn buildings are damaged. The explosion was due to an electrical line on the Drexel campus, according to a representative from Penn Facilities and Real Estate Services.
The Division of Public Safety sent out an advisory asking the Penn community to use caution in the area, noting that the unit block of South 34th street will be back to normal conditions by this morning.
