A water main break, which sent water shooting into the air in New Westminster, forced road closures and stalled SkyTrain service for hours on Saturday.

Pictures show water arcing into the air at Braid Street and Brunette Avenue, which police closed as officials dealt with the break.

Damaged water main at Braid St and Brunette Ave. Please avoid the area while crews fix the problem. Thanks! —@NewWestPD

TransLink was forced to put a bus shuttle in place between the Braid and Sapperton SkyTrain stations, but service is now back to normal.
