It took one and a half painstaking hours to move the machine 500 metres.
The shield was shifted from the Mt Eden site's western edge by a truck towing a hydraulic trailer fitted with 15 axles and 250 wheels.
"It was a very big and delicate operation but many hours of planning and all our hard work on site has paid dividends for us,” said Link Alliance project director Francois Dudouit.
The next phase will be putting everything together, he said.
The shield would be put inside the first 50 metres of the tunnel and connected to the tunnel boring machine's factory, Dudouit said.
This comprises eleven sections which provide hydraulic, mechanical and electrical power to excavate the tunnels and install precast concrete segments to line the tunnels.
When all the gantries are connected, the machine will undergo extensive commissioning tests before excavating the first of the twin tunnels in late April.
The Link Alliance will operate the machine to the new Karangahape Station then to Aotea Station in Auckland's CBD where it will join tunnels already built from Britomart Station and under lower Albert St.
City Rail Link's 3.45 kilometre-long tunnels are earmarked to open in late 2024.

Hi Neighbours, America's Cup fans around the country can join a special sing-along to Sir Rod Stewart's "Sailing". But what about our own 1986 hit "Sailing Away"? In this story, have a sneak peak at Rockin' Rod's singalong video:

The city’s heterogeneous nature is the crux of the Auckland War Memorial Museum’s latest exhibition, Tāmaki Herenga Waka: Stories of Auckland.
It tells the diverse narratives of the people and places that call the city home, with a particular focus on early immigrant families who had – and continue to have – a fundamental impact on its formation.
The Kronfeld family, who moved to Auckland in the 1890s, have had a particularly trailblazing existence.
In as little as 10 years after moving, Prussian Jew Gustav Kronfeld boasted a hugely successful import-export business and had become a naturalised member of the British Empire.
Along with his Samoan wife Louisa he also helped care for those who passed through Auckland from the Pacific Islands, in a grand house he had built himself.
Emily Parr, the Kronfeld’s great-great-granddaughter said her ancestors' warm and familial hospitality helped countless travellers and established Pacific Island roots in Auckland, at a time when very few Samoans were in New Zealand.

A farmer in Maruia, on the South Island's West Coast, is threatening to burn 80ha of native bush on his property and turn it into pasture in a bid to raise its value and save his farm.
The land is likely to be classed as a significant natural area (SNA) under new biodiversity rules in regional and district plans.
Aaran Bruce and his wife live on a 220ha block their family has owned since the 1940s on West Bank Rd, about 15km from Springs Junction.
The couple is under pressure from their bank to sell the farm after running into financial strife and sold their dairy herd last year.
