On Sept. 7-13, the entire vehicle holding area will be shut down so crews can stage cranes and equipment to lift and place the new, large metal walkway spans into place. During the closure, we will only provide service to and from Seattle for walk-on and ADA passengers travelling without a vehicle during specified times each day using the existing walkway. We will make accommodations for emergency medical vehicles during these walk-on hours only, if needed. We’re also exploring additional service options on other routes during the closure. <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOT/2023/04/7514345/4708546/bainbridge_crop.png> Footings are in place for the new walkway. Because the existing walkway is so close, we will need to close it at times to install the new one. Prior to that major closure, we will also need to close the overhead walkway a few times this summer so crews can install mechanical equipment in preparation for the new walkway. When the overhead walkway is closed, all walk-on passengers will board via the car deck. Terminal staff will be on hand to assist our ADA customers, who will use a designated path to board and disembark the vessel. There will be no changes for vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles and electric scooters, but loading and unloading delays are likely during peak hours. We’ll provide more details on all these closures in the coming months. Service restoration update Due to current and upcoming retirements, we are facing an increase in attrition in our workforce. Because of this crewing situation, as well as vessel availability constraints, people who use our Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route regularly should plan to remain on the current two-boat schedule. We will begin a trial of pre-pandemic three-boat weekday service as soon as we can. Service restoration on our Seattle/Bremerton route will not happen until our “Triangle” run is fully restored and we have the crew and a vessel available to operate a two-boat schedule. In addition to those updates, our latest Service Restoration Plan (PDF 794KB) <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInV ybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3Nkb3Qud2EuZ292L3NpdGVzL2RlZmF1bHQvZmlsZXMvMjAyMi0wMy9XU0YtQ09WSUQxOS1TZXJ2aWNlUmVzdG9yYXRpb25QbGFuLnBkZiIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzA0MjcuNzU4OTM4ODEifQ.70k3MuIYlLD_VwBOaJRYLJnITbY 5CA5QUX5QbYDILUA/s/591618619/br/166741972076-l> Progress Report (PDF 597KB) <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3Nkb3 Qud2EuZ292L3NpdGVzL2RlZmF1bHQvZmlsZXMvMjAyMy0wNC9XU0YtU2VydmljZVJlc3RvcmF0aW9uUGxhblByb2dyZXNzUmVwb3J0LTI1QXByaWwyMDIzLnBkZiIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzA0MjcuNzU4OTM4ODEifQ.LH-ZW-F5crI2VZNfYlL5blh5Xs NSPBZu37RC-4Jhj8c/s/591618619/br/166741972076-l> shows that we’re maintaining at least 95% reliability on our restored routes.
