Work Progressing at Tunnel and Ferry

The Lynchburg Ferry and the Washburn Tunnel remain closed due to the effects of Hurricane Ike.  Both the Ferry and the Tunnel will re-open for service following evaluation and repair.

The tunnel suffered damage when the pumps could not handle the massive storm surge from the ship channel.  The ferries suffered damage as a result of being forced by tidal surge.
