As you may know, later this summer, Washington State Ferries will start major construction on our project to replace the old and seismically-vulnerable parts of our flagship ferry terminal on Seattle’s waterfront. Construction is expected to continue through early 2023 and the terminal will remain open throughout construction. The end result will be a safe, operational and multimodal facility for the more than 9 million people who rely on the critical transportation link Colman Dock provides across Puget Sound each year.
Ahead of major construction, we are inviting the public to learn more through upcoming outreach events in Seattle and the Kitsap Peninsula and via an online open house available today through July 14. We are sharing information about what to expect during construction, and seeking feedback on proposed changes to WSF’s Bremerton and Bainbridge Island sailing schedules that will start in January 2018.
To get ready for major construction, crews are already completing some work on the dock, and vehicle access to Colman Dock will change as soon as the week of June 26. Please see the ferry access handout for more details.
We hope to see you at one of our outreach events, and encourage you to share this flyer with your community organizations to help us spread the word.
