About this trip
The City Rail Link is New Zealand’s largest transport infrastructure project ever to be undertaken in New Zealand. It is a 3.45km twin-tunnel underground rail link up to 42 metres below the Auckland city centre. The CRL will transform the way people move around the city.
The CRL is being designed and constructed to the highest environmental, cultural, social, and sustainability standards. It will set the benchmark for delivering sustainable infrastructure in New Zealand.
