Auckland’s “Boring Day Out” will be held at the project's Mt Eden construction site on December 6.
People will be able to see up close the machine named Dame Whina Cooper after the Māori rights activist.
They will also view where the machine starts its underground journey next year, from Mount Eden to the new Karangahape underground station, then to the Aotea station in central Auckland.
“This will be a rare opportunity to see the star of New Zealand’s biggest-ever transport infrastructure project before it disappears underground,” said Francois Dudouit, Project Director for the Link Alliance.
Details about where people can get tickets on-line will be announced next week.
Ten visiting sessions will be held, with the first entry at 9 am and the last at 6 pm.
Visitor numbers will be restricted to 500 for each session.
Tickets are free and people can book up to five tickets per person.
People with wheelchairs, mobility scooters, prams/pushchairs and walking sticks are welcome.
Entry to the Mt Eden site will be via Ngahura Street near New North Road.
The walk is 600 metres long and the ground is flat but there are some uneven surfaces.

She knows what she's talking about, too. Not only did she smash more than $90k of debt in three years, but in the year since she paid it off, she's saved enough, on top of her Kiwisaver, to pay the deposit on a home of her own.
It wasn't easy, and Tracy would be the first person to tell you that! But it is doable. Check out how, and have a listen to our episode of First Rung about Settlement day, on this link below. It includes some tips from Tracy on setting up a budget to manage your finance when you have a mortgage to pay.

Hi Neighbours, As the latest community case was preparing to take a Covid-19 test, I, and a big group including senior Auckland figures were collectively ignoring advice about mask-wearing on public transport. Read the story below:
Vandals have egged cars parked in Avondale, leaving a multitude of broken eggs strewn over the streets.
What do you think about this act of vandalism?

The woman, a student at AUT University, has no clear connection to the border or a managed isolation facility.
However, after genome sequencing was carried out, it is believed she contracted the virus from a New Zealand Defence Force staffer who went to brunch at a CBD restaurant, near her work.
A man with stage four cancer is bracing himself to walk 18 hours in jandals to raise funds for "those suffering more than me".

Shane Callaghan from Te Atatu Peninsula takes on the annual Relay For Life fundraiser next weekend.
The self-described Melahomi Jandal Strutter said he will be doing things differently as the relay has been turned into an online event.
He will be walking non-stop for nine hours on November 21 at the Jack Lovelock track at Mt Roskill.
The following day will see him walking continuously for another nine hours at AUT Millenium Stadium in Albany.
With nothing but a carefully-chosen playlist that includes Suzy Cato's Sprinkle a Little Sunshine and – in true Kiwi style – three pairs of jandals, Callaghan is steeling himself for the walk.
The 55-year-old has invited people to join him for a few laps.
"You don't have to wear jandals. That's just how I flip flop. "
But he urged participants to be sun safe and, "slip, slop, slap."
Callaghan said he was blown away by the donations- so far he has raised $2,941.11.
"As so much has been donated on the page, I am doing this for all those who are going through cancer, ones we've lost (too many just recently) and the survivors," he said.
Callaghan was first diagnosed with melanoma in 2015, but in 2017, on his birthday, he was told the cancer had spread and that it was at a critical stage four.
Doctors discovered several tumours on his spine and put him on radiation treatment.
He said in March that the tumours had shrunk, but that had caused damage to his spine which means he can't ever run or make any sudden movements.
Sixty three New Zealanders are diagnosed with cancer every day.
The Cancer Society provides vital services and support to people affected by cancer, funds life-saving cancer research and does important work on cancer prevention.

If you're lucky, and good, you might be given a couple of cans of paint from your local hardware store, to help you on the way - but that would be the icing on the tip of the social media cake.
Few of us would have the energy or knowhow to turn their reno into a part time side hustle that's both creatively fulfilling, and engaging.
But that's exactly what Moochstyle's Shayden and Georgia Whipps have done - with some pawsome help from their gorgeous dog Frankie. They've been blogging their Christchurch villa reno since they bought their home and Shayden shared their story with us for the final episode of First Rung, our podcast. A first time homeowner and renovator, Shayden is such an inspiring guy to chat with. He makes you want to jump in and give it go. Check out his story and let us know what you think.
