SOUTH BEND — A gas leak has closed Notre Dame Avenue between LaSalle Avenue and Madison Street Saturday morning.

A work crew digging at a construction site broke a gas main, South Bend fire Capt. Mark Dahms said.

The Women’s Care Center, at 907 E. LaSalle Ave. was evacuated as a precaution, Dahms said.

The neighboring St. Joseph Regional Medical Center was not impacted, he said.

The Northern Indiana Public Service Co. is sending a crew to fix it and the situation is expected to be resolved within an hour of the crew’s arrival, Dahms said.
