About 10 to 12 people who were working on the line at the time of the leak, were evacuated from the building, according to Harris County Fire Marshal Laurie Christensen.

On Sunday, the feeder roads north and southbound of 99 at I-10 were reopened after being closed for hours as crews worked to contain the gas.
