Service from Bridgeport to Richmond-Brighouse ended three hours earlier than usual for several nights as crews used large cranes to install vertical columns on both sides of the track at Capstan — something that couldn’t be done while trains were operating.
The work was due for completion on Thursday night but wrapped up before a planned Wednesday night closure was needed.
TransLink set up bus bridges from Bridgeport to Aberdeen, Lansdowne and the Richmond-Brighouse terminus while the work was underway.
Construction on Capstan station, a new stop on the Canada Line between Bridgeport and Aberdeen, continues; the new station in the Capstan Village area of Richmond is on track to open next year.
