Firefighters spent about 45 minutes at Tillyard Drive between Spaulding Drive and Garrard Circuit in Charnwood, working to clamp the 50mm gas line and isolate the leak from about 1pm Thursday.
The gas rupture was caused by workman, an Emergency Services spokesman said.
The exclusion zone was lifted about 1.45pm, but contractors remained on the scene to repir the line.
