Metro inspects pillar crack at City Centre station
A crack was found in a pillar at City Centre Metro station.
Engineers checked it and said the main structure is safe.
The crack is only in the outer layer of an escalator shaft.
They are trying to find out why it happened.
The Metro is still running normally.
This is different from a previous problem at another station where cracks caused a closure.
A crack was discovered in a pillar at City Centre Metro station.
Engineers inspected the crack and found it is confined to the wall cladding of an escalator shaft.
The main station structure is intact and safe, with no risk to operations.
The cause of the crack is undetermined but could be due to soil settlement or a structural flaw.
Metro services continue to operate normally.
