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.
