Gas leak capped on Merton St. about 4.25 p.m.

An apartment building was evacuated and a number of streets closed off after a large gas leak occurred on Merton Street at Pailton Crescent Thursday morning. It has been a complicated job to cap this leak but at about 4.25 p.m. Enbridge tweeted word that the leak has been stopped.

There may well be work continuing there which will slow traffic but this should permit the roads to open.
