Parts of Hanover Road northeast of Kleefeld were blocked off Tuesday afternoon as a result of a break in a rural gas line.
Steinbach district gas supervisor Ernie Hiebert tells us the line was
hit while the RM was attempting to do some excavation work. It happened
at the intersection of Hanover Road and Penny Lane. That intersection
was closed for about three hours. Hiebert says they were able to
isolate the problem without customers noticing what had happened. Crews
had the break repaired by about 4:30 pm.
