Normanby Road Temporary Level Crossing Closure
Boston Road - manhole strengthening
A manhole located in Boston Road near JA Russell, needs to be strengthened with concrete. This will mean the reduction of traffic to a single lane to enable sufficient space for our work site.
This work will take place on Saturday 28 August.
This work will include:
Traffic Management to divert vehicles as required
Removing the asphalt
Hydro-vacing to expose the manhole connection. This will be noisy.
Mixing and pouring the concrete
Reinstatement of the road surface
The hours of work will be between 7am and 7pm.
The equipment required will include:
Excavators and hydrovac
Hand tools
Hot mix asphalt for the reinstatement of the road surface
Traffic controllers will be onsite to assist with traffic movement and noise reduction mats to mitigate noise disturbance.
Normanby Road - bridge end
As part of the works to widen the rail corridor for the City Rail Link, utilities are required to be relocated. This work is ongoing and undertaken as required.
During the week commencing 30 August, we will be cutting and removing asphalt using an excavator and hydrovac, to gain access to the existing ducts within the road. This will require the car parks on both sides of the road to be removed to enable sufficient working space while maintaining traffic movement. This work is expected to only take one day and be intermittently noisy. Noise reduction mats will help mitigate noise disturbance.
Night work - Normanby Road Bridge
From Monday 30 August to Sunday 5 September, we will be placing bridge beams.
A portion of this work will be carried out on night shifts between the hours of 10pm and 5am.
The work will involve the placement of 16 bridge beams early September. There will be truck and crane movements into site, potentially causing disruption to motorists travelling on Boston/Nugent Road – traffic controllers will be on site to help mitigate this. Light towers will be used to help illuminate the site with potential for light pollution – all lights will be facing towards site to help minimize this.
The required equipment will include cranes, truck, light towers and power tools.
Weekend of 21, 22 August
As part of the ongoing work to build the additional CRL line, we will be working on a variety of activities in the rail corridor over the weekend of 21, 22 August during Block of Line, when the trains are not running.
All this work will be undertaken between 7am to 7pm on Saturday 21st and 8am to 7pm on Sunday 22nd.
Where: In the rail corridor - east of the station (zones 1 and 2)
Scope of work:
Installing ducting and pits
Relocation of hoarding and removal of a light pole
Hoarding Removal and installation of precast panels
Equipment: Digger, excavator, hand tools, rock breaker, compactor, roller.
What to expect: This work will involve excavation of the current rail system for the installation of under-track services and relocation of removal of hoardings to make way for the works to proceed. Where possible, noise mats will be used to mitigate noise disruption.
Update 1 August 2021
We are continuing to undertake extensive excavation, service upgrades and foundation work, in preparation for the future City Rail Link tunnels and re-developed Mt Eden Station. Over the coming weeks, the following activities will commence in zones 1 and 2:
• Normanby Road: Install a network of upgraded services and storm water drainage
• Piling across the rail corridor
• Line marking on Mt Eden Road
• Eastern Grade Separation
Normanby Road - Install a network of upgraded services and storm water drainage
The team continue to excavate on Normanby Road, between the Boston Road roundabout and Enfield Street. This work is required to isolate existing services within the road and to install a network of upgraded services and storm water drainage.
The work will take approximately six months to complete and will require the temporary removal of carparks on Normanby Road (see map below). The temporary removal of parking spaces ensures that traffic in both directions and access to properties will be maintained.
This work will include:
• Traffic Management to divert pedestrians and vehicles when required
• Excavation and drilling under the road
• Installation of trench shields
• Pulling ducting and services across the road
• Installation of drainage services under the road

Line marking on Mt Eden Road
On the 28th of July to the 29th of July, the team will begin line marking maintenance on Mt Eden Road, between the intersections of Enfield Street and Boston Road.
This work will be carried out on night shifts between the hours of 10pm and 5am. During these works, there will be traffic management in place and traffic lane closures will be implemented when required.
Eastern Grade Separation on the rail corridor
The Eastern Grade Separation (EGS) is a series of complex works to accommodate the additional City Rail Link Northbound Line. Grade separation is a method of aligning the junction between two rail lines, which cross each other at different heights. A transitional trench from the East will dive below the Normanby Road over-rail bridge, in a northerly direction. The rail line will then enter the tunnel located at the Mt Eden station site, and travel towards Karangahape Road. The existing rail line will remain at ground level, travelling towards Kingsland. As part of the EGS works, a series of foundation works will take place within our construction site to support the structure.
The stage of work has started and will continue until early October 2021.
This work include:
• Tying and reinforcing steelwork
