Level Crossing Removal Programme

Auckland Transport, KiwiRail and NZ Transport Agency are working together to remove all remaining level crossings in Auckland during the next 10 to 30 years. This is to support the future growth of our train network.

We have already started to remove some level crossings in preparation of CRL opening. We are also making some interim safety improvements to other level crossings across Auckland.

Before the CRL opens we are:

• removing 8 pedestrian-only level crossings across Auckland
• removing one road level crossing at Church Street East, Penrose
• installing a range of interim safety upgrades at other road level crossings across Auckland.

We're in the early stages of exploring options for all remaining level crossings, including our busy road level crossings and level crossings connected to train stations.

After the CRL is open to the public, there will be 42 remaining level crossings across the Auckland rail network.

We will work closely with communities on local solutions that meet everyone’s needs. Our community engagement will be delivered in stages after our initial investigations are complete.
