Some buildings were evacuated until the source of the gas could be found.
Nearby businesses were evacuated as a precaution, but everyone returned to those buildings.
Streets were closed from the circle to Virginia Ave., but have been reopened.
There were no customer outages caused by the leak, according to BGE.
