Vancouver police have blocked traffic and the SkyTrain’s Millennium Line has suspended service to VCC-Clark Station due to an “unstable crane” in the area.
That’s the phrase TransLink used to describe the cause of the service suspension in a post on social media.
The 84 bus route, which normally terminates at VCC-Clark, has been extended to Commercial-Broadway Station due to the closure, the transit authority said.
The Expo Line is unaffected.
In its own post, the Vancouver Police Department said “traffic is closed in both directions between Clark and Glen (drives), and on Keith (Drive) between E. 6th and 7th (avenues), as crews deal with a construction crane issue.”
Multiple buildings are under construction in the area, which is near where Great Northern Way turns into East 6th Avenue.
Asked for more information, the VPD told CTV News via email that “the site has been evacuated.”
“No one has been injured and it is likely the load will fall safely to the street,” said VPD spokesperson Const. Tania Visintin, in the email.
“But at this time, that isn’t definitive.”
