Crews spent much of Friday night transporting a massive piece of steel — measuring 50 metres long and six metres wide — to support a new pedestrian walkway at the station.

The closure comes after a busy night for TransLink as multiple major events drew huge crowds to Vancouver’s downtown core.

The city hosted two big-ticket concerts Friday: Coldplay performed at B.C. Place while Miranda Lambert took the stage at Rogers Arena.

Next door, the city’s newest casino — called Parq — also held its grand opening.
