HEAVY traffic was expected around York's Foss Islands Road this evening (Thursday) after a gas leak led to a major road being sealed off.
The busy Layerthorpe Road was closed to traffic after a burst pipe was discovered on wasteland next to the Frog Hall pub.
Police, firefighters and gas engineers were on the scene dealing with the leak. The incident, which started at 2pm, was still continuing at 5pm.
