Line 5 Pipeline Leak and Safety Concerns | Milwaukee News

Enbridge is racing to restart Line 5 by Tuesday after a massive gas leak—1.3 million gallons of propane and butane spilled when a subcontractor’s truck struck the pipeline during valve work. Crews are evaporating remaining gas, air quality outside the zone is safe, but benzene levels remain a long-term cancer risk inside the exclusion zone. Federal regulators are investigating safety failures, while water tests show no contamination. The pipeline moves 23 million gallons daily and is part of a billion-dollar reroute project blocked by legal challenges for years.
