Upgrades to Clinton Ferry Terminal ready
Starting this week, riders at the Clinton Ferry Terminal can use an improved passenger pickup and drop-off area.
The improvements add a lane on Ferry Dock Road, sidewalks that meet ADA standards and a waiting platform. The new lane allows through traffic to bypass the pickup and drop-off area for walk-on ferry passengers.
Drivers should make a right turn onto Ferry Dock Road as they approach the terminal. Ferry customers with limited mobility can still use the dock near the terminal building for loading.
The $3 million project was funded through the 2015 Connecting Washington funding package.
