SALT LAKE CITY — The smell of gas was in the air following a gas leak after construction crews struck an underground transmission line in the Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City on Monday.

No evacuations were issued and all nearby businesses were immediately cleared where the leak occurred on 2100 South just east of 700 East.

While repairs were being made, 2100 South from 700 East to 800 East was closed to vehicles and pedestrians, but it has since been reopened.
