A gas leak closed part of Mount Victoria this morning after a gas main was struck near the intersection of Pirie Street and Austin Street.
Police and Fire and Emergency NZ were called to the scene about 10.35am.
Police said there were no reports of injuries, but the intersection was cordoned off while emergency services responded.
Motorists and members of the public were asked to avoid the area while the leak was dealt with.
Police said shortly before midday that the cordons had been lifted and the area was clear.
