Keller Ferry Out Of Service Until Further Notice
 |
Thanks to the Spokesman-Review
for the use of their map. |
The
Keller Ferry across the Columbia River on State Route 21 is out of service
until further notice.
Water is
seeping into one of the Sanpoil’s internal compartments through a
hairline crack below the waterline.
Divers
from the vessel builder, Foss Maritime of Seattle, inspected the boat yesterday and located the crack but have not determined it's cause.
WSDOT is
working with Foss Maritime to determine what repairs will be required. There is no estimate on costs or when ferry
service will resume. Drivers will need to use alternate routes to reach
their destinations.
