UPDATE: Hood Canal passenger ferry service returns

Published 12:28 pm Monday, May 11, 2009

SHINE — Passenger ferry service just south of the closed Hood Canal floating bridge, stopped shortly after noon today because of high winds, resumed at 6 p.m., the state Department of Transportation said tonight.

The free shuttle involves two Victoria Express passenger ferries between Jefferson and Kitsap counties.

The bridge was closed May 1 for eastern-half repairs that are expected to continue into June.

Alternate routes are U.S. 101 along Hood Canal to Olympia or via the car-passenger ferry between Port Townsend and Whidbey Island.
