A gas leak in Auckland’s Takapuna has prompted emergency services to cordon off Killarney St, causing heavy traffic in the surrounding streets.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand is responding to the leak while police direct motorists.
Police closed Killarney St between Lake Pupuke and Anzac Sts. Lake Pupuke and Ander Place are also closed, Auckland Transport said.
Traffic has backed up onto Taharoto and Lake Rds, Anzac and Auburn Sts and The Terrace.
