The shining star of the City Rail Link project is due to arrive in Auckland next spring – a 130 metre feat of modern engineering that will bore twin tunnels under the city centre.

We need your help to pick a name for our Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM)!

Piling, the creation of massive concrete beams in the earth, has begun at the Mt Eden Station site.

We’re about to start building the Aotea underground station in central Auckland.

The shortest month of the year has been very busy for CRL’s contractor Connectus, who are working on the streetscape upgrade along Albert Street from Wyndham Street to Customs Street.

A Mollyhawk family that was ruling the roost at the top of a building in the Mt Eden Station footprint has moved out ahead of the building’s planned demolition.

We would like to introduce Mt Eden’s much-loved Twenty Three café owner – Emma Sparks.

On 30 May - Queen’s Birthday weekend - the existing Mt Eden Station will close for about four years while construction of the new station and twin rail tunnels takes place.

Delivering the country’s largest infrastructure project takes some seriously talented people, so in this section “Faces of the CRL” we interview some of City Rail Link’s best and brightest. This month we turn the spotlight on Manu De Silva – a Project Engineer at Karangahape’s Beresford Square.
