The CERN neutrinos to Gran Sasso (CNGS) project will provide an intense muon neutrino beam from the CERN-SPS in the direction of the Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy. The progress of the CNGS project is presented. Following the successful completion of the 1 kilometre long decay vacuum tube, the general services have been put in place. In parallel, equipment procurement, assembly and tests in the lab have been progressing. The installation of equipment in the proton beam tunnel and the target chamber is now starting. This installation work should be completed early 2006 and will be followed by hardware commissioning and 'dry runs'. CNGS commissioning with beam is scheduled to start end of May 2006.
