The station has been closed since 2020 and is currently undergoing an extensive reconstruction as part of the wider work on the City Rail Link.

[10] AT chairman Lester Levy said that there had been concerted effort to optimise the design and reduce construction cost.

Levy said the changes also will result in an improved customer experience with the CRL platform at Mount Eden to be built in a trench similar to the New Lynn station, and be open to the sky, rather than deep underground as was the case for the proposed Newton station location.

This open air location and the separated train junction will also lower operating costs.
