Harvest Drive in Steinbach was closed to traffic this afternoon after a gas leak.

Steinbach Fire Chief Kel Toews says a homeowner punctured a gas line while hammering a piece of rebar.

The fire department was called shortly before 4:30 and as a precaution, the street was closed at both ends.

By 5:30 the street was reopened as Manitoba Hydro was called in for repairs.

Toews says there were no injuries.
