A busy Mississauga intersection has been shut down to traffic this afternoon (Feb. 28) due to a natural gas leak.

Fire crews are on the scene along with Peel Regional Police, while Enbridge Gas workers are on their way to the area.
Traffic is being blocked in and around the major intersection and fire officials are urging people to avoid the area.
