Capital Metro will resume running MetroRail trains from the Leander station today after making unspecified repairs to a bridge at Block House Creek north of Cedar Park, spokesman Adam Shaivitz said Thursday.

On Wednesday, hours after flooding had damaged the wooden bridge over the creek while also washing out the rock "ballast" below the track in places, agency officials had said the repairs might take several days. Until then, they said, MetroRail trains would run only as far north as the Lakeline Station.

Shaivitz could not provide details Thursday on what work was done to shore up the bridge or why the repair took much less time than originally expected.
