Five years of City Rail Link work has come to fruition at the intersection of Albert St and Wolfe St in Auckland's CBD.
Digging up the busy city street for rail tunnels took longer than expected and caused hardship for businesses in the area, said City Rail Link Ltd chief executive Dr Sean Sweeney.
"There have been robust discussions over the years, but we have worked hard with local businesses to find suitable solutions to offset impacts when work fell behind schedule including the introduction of rent assistances scheme for those who qualified,” said Sweeney.
“We hope we are leaving behind a rejuvenated and transformed street.”
Work began in late 2015 on the city rail link section at the lower end of Albert St.
A trench was excavated down the middle of Albert St between Customs St and Wyndham St to build the project’s twin underground tunnels 350-metres long.
At Commercial Bay they connected with the tunnel built from Britomart Station.
Construction also involved relocating an important stormwater line and strengthening a section of a large sewer main.
Tunnel construction finished in mid-2019 and Albert St was back filled up to road level.
Street beautifying followed – building wider pavements, installing new street furniture and lighting, planting native trees and creating bus bays to upgrade public transport.
Sweeney says the end to the work at the lower end of Albert Street is an important milestone.
“Historically it is where CRL’s construction began, but when you look ahead it’s a timely reminder that CRL is a transformational project for the whole of Auckland."
"Alongside that city-wide view we have a commitment to leave a positive legacy locally where we have had to put our spades into the ground.“
Meanwhile, work is continuing from the Wyndham St intersection to extend the city rail link further south along Albert St to join the new Aotea underground station in the city centre.

Dynamic lanes use overhead signs and on road lights to change the direction of centre lanes at peak times to improve traffic flow.
The overhead signals will switch on this Monday.
But the lanes will stay the same for one week to give commuters time to get used to following the overhead signals.
The dynamic lanes will go live for the first time on November 9 between 3.30pm and 7pm on week days.
Do you approve of the new design?
Will it enhance traffic flow or cause confusion for motorists?
Auckland Transport is concerned about the impending costs it will face if Drury's redevelopment goes ahead.

A report to Auckland Transport's (AT) board reveals it has misgivings about the planned redevelopment of Drury, which is likely to see the population soar in the next 30 years.
The paper said it is reviewing the private plan change proposals and what they entail for its funding of transport infrastructure.
Oyster Capital, Fulton Hogan and Kiwi Property are seeking to rezone about 330 hectares of land in the Drury East area from future urban to a mix of residential, business and open space zones.
A fourth smaller private plan change to rezone 33.7 hectares for mixed use housing by Karaka and Drury Consultant Limited was added to the public notification by council officers.
The AT report describes the changes as 'out of sequence' with the Auckland Plan 2050's Development Strategy and the Council's Future Urban Land Supply Strategy.
It states: “If these plan changes are approved by the council, there will be an expectation that the necessary transport infrastructure will be provided by AT to align with development demands.
“However, there is currently no funding allocated for these areas and overall funding over the next decade is under pressure. AT is working with council and government to identify potential funding and financing options, but it is not clear that will provide a timely solution.”
The paper says it would need to consider the area’s transport infrastructure requirements and how it could provide them, as well as how to align the public works with the staging and sequencing of the development.
