Demolition of the St. Joseph complex in Fort Worth is expected to be completed Tuesday.
A road closure near a demolition site in Fort Worth sparked concern over a swaying wall.
NBC 5 received word that the wall at the site of the vacant St. Joseph Hospital complex was swaying and that the demolition was halted. When the area, including a nearby roadway was cordoned off, it appeared there was concern over where the wall may come down.
Officials with D.H. Griffin of Texas, the company doing the demolition work, said the lane closure along the 1400-block of S. Main Street was expected and submitted to the city and that it was done as a precaution only.
It is not clear if the wall was ever unintentionally unstable.
Crews are in the final stages of the demolition project and officials said they expect the job to be completed Tuesday.
St. Joseph's was founded by nuns in 1885 as the county's first hospital. The complex eventually spanned 10 buildings and was bought by John Peter Smith Hospital in 2008 for $5.1 million. The facility has been vacant since 2004.
More than 20,000 bricks were salvaged from the demolition that will be used to build a memorial to commemorate St. Joseph's.
JPS plans to convert the land into a 6-acre green space with a quarter-mile walking track.
NBC 5's Chris Van Horne and Scott Gordon contributed to this report.
