Fire crews have been kept busy attending to a gas leak at New Lambton last night.

3 fire trucks from Lambton were called to St James Road at 8.50pm on Monday to find a gas main had been ruptured.

Police say the main had been dug through.

St James Road was closed while crews clamped 3 pipes.

No residents were evacuated and the road was re-opened just before midnight.
