Three workers were trapped in Ottawa's light rail transit tunnel near Waller Street and Laurier Avenue on Thursday after some concrete came loose and fell.
The three workers were in a 'safe zone' about 200 metres from the tunnel's entrance for about an hour. One suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital; the others were unharmed.
While police initially called the incident a "tunnel collapse," Mayor Jim Watson later said at the scene that it was not a tunnel collapse; rather, workers were spraying concrete in a part of the tunnel and some rebar came loose and fell down.
