Auckland’s CRL to be partially funded by the Government

The Government of New Zealand has agreed to fund half of the USD 2 billion – USD 2.46 billion required to build Auckland’s City Rail Link (CRL).
According to an agreement signed by the government and Auckland Council, the state will fund 50% of the CRL.
The CRL is a 3.4 km-long underground train line that will run from Britomart station in downtown Auckland through the CBD to connect with the existing western line at Mt Eden station.
Upon completion, CRL will double the capacity of Auckland’s metro rail network and will help save commuters’ travel time.
