The equipment failure on the Evergreen Line project that shut down North Road Tuesday won't affect the construction schedule for the new SkyTrain line, according to the Ministry of Transportation.
North Road was reopened Tuesday night after a beam on the truss – a giant crane used to move sections of concrete SkyTrain guideway – was repositioned.
It had shifted earlier in the day, crushing a work platform.
Construction on the elevated guideway has been stopped until the incident has been investigated.
No one was injured during the incident and there was no damage to the Evergreen Line guideway or columns, or other property, according to a Ministry of Transportation press release Wednesday afternoon.
It is the second time in three months work on the Evergreen Line has been halted because of equipment failure.
On March 14, a 300-tonne beam dislodged on the line, shutting down Como Lake Avenue.
