A stretch of Broadway is back open after a gas leak in downtown Winnipeg forced some street closures.

Winnipeg police say Broadway between Smith and Donald was closed in both directions after a construction crew hit a gas line.

Southbound Donald between York and Broadway remains shut down.

A crew is working near 379 Broadway to repair a natural gas line that was blowing earlier. A contractor doing street work hit a valve. Crews are on site and gas was shut off as of 7:25 pm — no estimated time for completed repairs. We’re working as safely and quickly as possible.
