The City Rail Link will soon have the pleasure of welcoming 10,000 of its nearest and dearest through the newly built tunnels underneath lower Queen Street.
Held on Sunday the 17th of November, the public walk-through will start at Britomart before heading over to lower Albert Street and back - a return journey of 600 metres underground. “This will be a rare opportunity for people to enjoy a brief snapshot of New Zealand’s largest-ever infrastructure project being built right under the city - we have a lot to celebrate,” says CRL’s Chief Executive, Dr Sean Sweeney.
“It’s a great chance for us to say, ‘thank you’ to people for the support they are giving the project, and for us to show off some of the outstanding engineering behind a project that will re-shape the way Aucklanders travel.” Space in the tunnels is confined, as such there will be no access for bikes, prams, pushchairs, scooters and skateboards.
Fact file:
=======
**Numbers will be restricted to 10,000
**There will be 10 entry sessions during the day. To keep people safe underground, each session will be restricted to 1000 people
**Tickets will be free and restricted to six per person
**Walking the tunnels will run from 8am until the last entry at 5pm
**When tickets become available, people will need to nominate the time of their visit
**The tunnels are not suitable for people who have a fear of being in a confined space, and there are low levels of lighting underground
**People are encouraged to wear sensible, flat shoes
**Entry and exit from the tunnels will be through the Britomart station
===================================
Tickets will be available through iTicket from Wednesday, 6 November
====================================
Remember this is a sneak peek into a live construction environment and the tunnels are still being built - as such, people should be prepared for dust, loud noises and uneven surfaces. Asthmatics should bring inhalers.

Suspicious Guy
Keep an eye on this guy, pretended to read the water meter, then wandered up the drive crowbar in hand when I asked what he wanted he said power and is there a dog.We have smart meters. He opened my neighbours gate (we are 3 units) and went in the back of her place with his crowbar. My son went round there and he took off. Police informed.
