Auckland Light Rail
An industry briefing was held this month by NZTA in relation to the Auckland Light Rail project and it is exciting to see that there is a genuine momentum to get this project under way with the Single Stage Business Case due for government endorsement by the end of the year. There are significant shared corridor risks and opportunities for this project during construction and operation that through technology innovations, would be able to be addressed.
