Fire crews were called just before 9 p.m. to US 50 and Kent Road just east of Hutchinson after the leak was discovered in a one-inch gas line.

The highway was closed from Mayfield to Buhler Haven Road while repairs were made to the line.

The highway was reopened just before midnight.

There were no injuries.
