Seaford -- The Department of Transportation (DelDOT) announces that the Woodland Ferry will be shut down for routine maintenance and its annual U.S. Coast Guard inspection beginning November 15, 2010.
Routine maintenance will include, but is not limited to, checking and replacing fluids, examining the thruster, as well as checking all valves and pumps. Crews will also examine the engine to ensure maximum operating efficiency.
The U.S. Coast Guard inspection ensures compliance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations and safe operation of the vessel.
The ferry will return to service following the maintenance work and a successful inspection. The return to service date is dependent on what issue may arise from the inspection, but is expected to occur within four weeks.
DelDOT appreciates the patience of motorists and area residents during the ferry's downtime.

That's okay, we're all used to it by now. That thing is out of service more often than not.
