Auckland’s Rail Link Finally Here | Auckland News

Auckland’s long-awaited City Rail Link finally opens this Sunday, marking the biggest infrastructure project in New Zealand’s history — a decade in the making and fueled by unity, data, and bold vision. Former Mayor Len Brown, a key architect of the project, celebrates its arrival with gusto, crediting Auckland’s merged city council for ending endless political gridlock. He warns against past mistakes — like ditching trams for cars in the 50s and 60s — that led to traffic chaos. After years of planning, government backing, and cost bumps from inflation and design upgrades, Brown sees this rail tunnel as proof that when Aucklanders unite, they can achieve the impossible — easing congestion, boosting public transport, and unlocking the city’s full potential.
