BAYTOWN, Texas (KTRK) -- Highway 146 and Spur 330 are reopened after a tanker leak forced all lanes to be closed for several hours on Wednesday, according to Baytown city officials.

Officials say that a tanker truck carrying a type of gas experienced a mechanical failure and was forced to pull over sometime after 1 p.m. At the time of the incident, a hazmat crew responded to the scene.

Air monitoring for the area was in place and no evacuations were necessary, according to city officials.
