Main Street closing was only temporarily

Walhalla’s Main Street, from Tugaloo to Catherine, was off limits for about 20 minutes this morning while public safety responders, including HAZMAT personnel, investigated a spill from a passing tanker truck.  Chief Will Bates of the fire department said a small spill of a petroleum asphalt liquid evaporated quickly and the responders were able to determine there was no public health safety and that three-block section of Main downtown was re-opened after about 20 minutes.
