Update: The seawall has fully reopened Saturday morning after crews worked to repair the damage, according to the Vancouver Park Board.

Original story: Crews closed part of Vancouver’s iconic seawall Friday afternoon as waves sent logs crashing into the popular pathway.
The seawall was blocked between English Bay and Lumberman’s Arch due to the potentially dangerous conditions, which the park board said were caused by a high tide.
Damage has been done to the seawall but the extent won’t be assessed until the tide goes down.
The board said crews will be working on repairing the seawall Saturday morning, and that it won’t be reopened to the public until at least 10 a.m.

Maybe Grey Cup visitors should visit Rocky Point instead of the Stanley Park seawall today http://t.co/Y2w07DnYNv pic.twitter.com/hpI1e0Rh2c
