A gas leak in Fort Worth’s Northside temporarily shut down the railroad in that area and prompted the evacuation of at least one business Monday morning, officials said.

Fort Worth firefighters responded to North Main Street and Grand Avenue shortly before 8 a.m. after construction workers hit a large gas line, Fire Department spokesperson Craig Trojacek said.

Atmos Energy technicians also responded to the scene and are repairing the pipeline, according to a company spokesperson.

Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes while repairs are underway.
