Auckland’s underground railway enters final phase
Patrick Brockie, Chief Executive
March 2025
Eight years ago, City Rail Link (CRL) was established to deliver a world-class underground railway for Auckland’s future.
Ambitious and visionary, a completed City Rail Link will be the “missing link” in Auckland’s rail network, unlocking travel benefits exactly as the Auckland Harbour Bridge did for roads 66 years ago.
We’re in the final straight now, but it’s a very long straight ahead of us. And we know from overseas experience that this is the trickiest part of the ‘game’.
