Updated 1:05 p.m.: Revised to reflect the reopening of buildings, streets.

Six downtown Dallas buildings were briefly evacuated Monday after a construction crew hit a gas line and caused a leak.

Several downtown streets were also closed before Atmos shut off the gas Monday afternoon.

The leak started after a construction crew hit a 6-inch gas line while working on a site near North Pearl and Flora streets around 10:15 a.m., Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said.

Fire crews smelled gas and called Atmos. The energy company shut off the gas about two hours later.

The gas leak led to closures of Ross Avenue from Olive Street to Pearl Street and the exit from Woodall Rodgers Freeway to Pearl. Those streets were later reopened.

The leak also caused six buildings to be evacuated until hazmat crews could determine they were safe for re-entry:
