Upgrade work at Mt Albert Station will also be carried out.
Given the significant amount of work to be done, closures on Auckland's rail network will be a regular occurrence for the foreseeable future. The next scheduled network closure is Easter weekend from Friday 29 March to Monday 1 April 2013.
