A stop-work order has been issued for the parking deck under construction at the Alexan Village Plaza on Elliot Road.

Town officials say the order was issued after an incident occurred on Thursday in which Chapel Hill Fire crews were called to the scene. Officials say the issue was caused when “a previously installed and engineered repair on a pre-cast concrete slab gave way at the cold joint.”

Chapel Hill’s Building Inspections Manager Chelsea Laws reported the incident was in a “small and isolated area on the third floor and is now fenced off from access,” according to an e-mail to WCHL.

The town is now requiring the structural engineer to evaluate the issue and propose corrections to repair and resolve the problem before any work can continue.

Fire crews spent approximately 30 minutes at the scene around 11 o’clock Thursday morning, according to tweets from the department.

No one was injured in the incident.

There is no timeline for how long it will take to complete the steps to all work to be able to continue.
