VCC-Clark SkyTrain station reopens after unstable crane forced closure

VCC-Clark SkyTrain station in Vancouver has reopened after it was closed Thursday afternoon due to an unstable crane nearby, TransLink says. 

The station, the western terminus of the Millennium Line, reopened just after midnight Friday, the transit authority said. Service between VCC-Clark and Commercial-Broadway station had been suspended from around 11 a.m. Thursday.

The crane is located at a development site on Keith Drive near Clark Drive and East 6th Avenue.

Vancouver police said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that traffic in the area was affected “as crews deal with a construction crane issue.”

Police said East 6th Avenue remained closed as of 9:30 p.m. PT Thursday.

The City of Vancouver said it is aware of the situation at a development site on Keith Drive and the contractor is working with WorkSafeBC, TransLink, Vancouver police and the city to ensure the safety of the public and workers in the area.
