Rail Rebuild Complete As CRL Moves To Final PhaseRt Hon Winston PetersMinister for RailHon Chris BishopMinister of TransportMayor Wayne BrownMayor of AucklandAuckland’s rail network is one major step closer to a modern, more reliable metro system with the completion of the final large-scale pre-City Rail Link works, Rail Minister Winston Peters, Transport Minister Chris Bishop and Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown say.
“We’d like to recognise the efforts of the 1,300+ people who worked across more than 300 sites during the 2025–26 summer rail upgrade.
“While there will still be a few more line closures prior to City Rail Link’s opening, these closures are expected to be much shorter and less disruptive.
City Rail Link Ltd, Auckland Transport and KiwiRail are now focused on further testing and commissioning ahead of opening.
Additional short closures are planned in the lead-up to City Rail Link opening, with disruption largely limited to weekends and public holidays wherever possible.
