The project will require that the loading span be locked in a level position while replacement of cables, pulleys, and other gear take place.  Ferry operations must be suspended during the project work.

The 10:00 p.m. run from Lummi Island and the 10:10 p.m. run from Gooseberry Point will be the last runs each evening of the planned service outage.

Due to the complex nature of these repairs there will not be any exceptions or additional runs after the posted last run times.
