A gas leak in Quartier Dix30, a shopping complex in Montreal’s south shore, has forced the evacuation of three restaurants.
According to Longueuil’s fire department, the leak happened around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.
An Energir spokesperson said the leak was caused by a duct breach that occurred during excavation works in the area around the complex, which is located in the city of Brossard.
Restaurants La Cage aux Sports, Casey’s and Les 3 Brasseurs had to be evacuated, said Dix30 spokesperson Julien Beaudry.

No one was injured, the city of Brassard indicated on its Twitter page.
“Because of the time of day, most customers had not arrived yet,” Beaudry told Global News.
