Officials with London police and fire as well as Union Gas were called to the area of Sarnia Road east of Hyde Park Road for a gas leak on Monday afternoon.

Police confirm to CTV News that a construction crew hit a fourn-inch gas pipe in the area shortly after 2 p.m.

Sarnia Road had to be closed from Hyde Park Road to Cherrywood Trail during the afternoon rush hour as workers dealt with the leak.

There was an evacuation of the area, but less than 20 workers from area businesses like Porky's BBQ & Leisure were affected.
