There will be more construction disruptions on the Canada Line in Richmond in the coming weeks.
From Nov. 21 to Dec. 22 (Monday to Fridays only) the service will stop early, at 9:30 p.m., between Bridgeport and Brighouse stations.
The stoppage is to allow crews to continue their work on building the new Capstan station between Aberdeen and Bridgeport.
Regular service, says TransLink, will resume on Friday, Dec. 23.
“The temporary service changes are necessary to ensure the safety of workers and the public, as crews will be using a large crane to continue installing heavy pieces of steel to construct the station platforms,” said TransLink in a media release.
“The crane cannot be used safely above the track while trains are in operation.”
TransLink says an extra bus service will be available between Bridgeport and Brighouse stations, with buses stopping at each impacted station, including Aberdeen and Lansdowne.
TransLink said the new Capstan station remains on track to open in 2023.
