Mt Eden track works during Queen’s Birthday Weekend

CRL’s Link Alliance and KiwiRail are joining forces to alter a section of train tracks in Mt Eden to allow the connection of the CRL to the current Western Line.

Over Queen’s Birthday Weekend, the duo will bring the current double line train services that run through Mt Eden Station to a single line.

This work will affect both rail travellers and some road users, as most construction can only be completed safely when no trains are running - however both teams, and Auckland Transport will work hard to co-ordinate plans and minimise disruption.

When Mt Eden Station closes for redevelopment in July, trains will continue to run on this single line through the station with little disruption to existing timetables.

Over Queen’s Birthday, diversions will be in place for road users during the temporary closure of the Normanby Road level crossing and a partial closure of Boston Road between Auburn Street and Severn Road intersections. The closures will allow contractors to install electrical ducts and lift the new track into place. Access to all businesses and properties will be maintained and detours will be signposted.
