The Auckland to Whangārei rail line upgraded from the nearly $165 million of taxpayers' money is scheduled to reopen in just under three weeks.
KiwiRail said once the line reopened on January 11, there may still be rail maintenance vehicles on the tracks at times so motorists were being urged to take care at level crossings.
The Government last year pledged $204.5m for the project— $164.5m to upgrade the Northland rail line and $40m to buy land.
