Victoria and Albert Street Intersection closure

On 27 June the Intersection of Victoria and Albert Streets in the central city was closed for construction of the new Aotea Station, as part of the City Rail Link project. Because of this some bus routes and stops have moved. 

Victoria Street remains open for business and for pedestrians. AT will have ambassadors out and about during the change-over period just in case you're not sure where to go. 

Bus routes affected:

Inner Link, Outer Link, NX2, 18, 101, 110, 125X, 129, 195, 22A, 22R, 22N, 24B, 24R, 24W, 209, 75, 82, 802, 923, 924.

Wellesley Street has now re-opened for through traffic, including buses. If you are driving into the city, we recommend you use Wellesley Street or Custom Street as an alternative. 

The Downtown waterfront transformation is complete

Over the last three years Auckland’s downtown waterfront has been completely transformed. 

The result is a world-class waterfront area with wider stone paved footpaths, beautiful gardens and seating, all brought together with new cycleways, better connection to public transport and  improved vehicle access.

The project will be officially opened by the Prime Minister on Friday 2 July.

Auckland Transport and Auckland Council, with mana whenua and construction partners have achieved:

• Upgrade of Quay Street’s historic seawall
• Quay Street enhancements and Te Wānanga
• Lower Albert Street bus interchange 
• The historic Britomart CPO (Chief Post Office) building is now open again.

Quay Street is now open again to traffic in both directions, with improved access to Prince's Wharf and Queens Wharf. If you're driving through this area, please keep to 30kph and watch out for pedestrians and people on bikes and scooters.
