Businesses are now allowed to return to their premises after a gas leak in Tauranga.

Police say traffic is now being allowed through the intersection of Mirrielees Road and Cross Road, where the leak occurred just before 11am on Wednesday.

Vector has repaired the leak, which the company says happened when a contractor struck the gas line.
