Twenty-four hour work at the tunnel portal site on the corner of Nikau St and Flower St starts on Thursday.
Mining will continue 24 hours Monday-to-Friday but Saturday mining hours are restricted to 7am-7pm.
Work will cease on Sundays and public holidays.
Link Alliance Project Director, Francois Dudouit, said measures are in place to reduce the impact the increased hours may have on the project’s residential and business neighbours.
Mining noise and vibration will be closely monitored by environmental experts, he said.
To mitigate noise, workers will place a curtain at the portal entrance to reduce noise and schedule noisier work to day shifts.
Lights used at night will be angled down directly onto the work site.
Dudouit said the increased hours are temporary and are necessary to complete a 51 metre-long entrance to the tunnel over the next four months.
The Link Alliance is building a cavern and trench which the TBM will use to start its journey underground into central Auckland.
The trench will later become the railway line connecting the City Rail Link with the Western Line at the redeveloped Mt Eden station.

Are you in favour of the City Rail Link project?

"Quarter of early childhood teachers wouldn't send their own kids to centre they work at".
Wonder how many teachers won't send their kids to the industrial sized, 100 child childcare centre with 2 floors of tiny 2 person boarding house rooms on top, that they're building on my street in New Lynn? Auckland Council lets developers do anything.
Hi neighbours, we're keen to talk to people who live near a busy railway line - commuter or freight - about the pros and cons of the location.
What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?
Was your house cheaper than others in the area?
Is the easy access to transport the reason … View moreHi neighbours, we're keen to talk to people who live near a busy railway line - commuter or freight - about the pros and cons of the location.

So, I spent a weekend hitting the open homes and seeing what it's like to try to buy as a solo person. Folks, it's tough out there... As an older, single person, it's really tough. Take a look at how I found "the churn" and let me know how it compares to your experience.
