Neither LRT trains nor buses were running out of Southgate Transit Centre late Friday afternoon and police tape was surrounding the entrance to overpass.
Police told Global News there was a suspicious package and the closure was done out of an abundance of caution.
In a message shared on social media, Edmonton Transit System said: “Due to an unplanned issue, buses and trains are not operating out of Southgate Transit Centre.”
ETS said the trains are turning around at the South Campus station and bus replacement service is running between South Campus and Century Park.
