A Look At The New Keller Ferry Under Construction
Some pretty cool pictures on the Washington State Department of Transportation's blog about construction of the state's newest ferry boat, which will serve right here in Eastern Washington.
The “Sanpoil,” the new ferry vessel for the Keller Route across the Columbia River, is being built at a Longview shipyard right now.
It reached a major construction milestone on December 11 that involved two cranes and a 20,000-pound section of the boat.
Here's what's happening and when the boat will be in service.
