Southworth Terminal Construction to Reduce Space on Dock in Mid to Late May

Two of the four lanes on the dock at our Southworth terminal will close for three weeks beginning in mid-May. During that time, crews will replace the wooden decking of the walkway running along the south side of the pier. Plan for possible delays on our Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route and oversized Vashon-bound vehicles that require the completion of a travel request form will not be able to travel out of Southworth. Customers are encouraged to arrive early and – for those who can – take alternate routes. The decking below the sidewalk is badly in need of repair and we must do this work now so it’s complete ahead of our busy summer travel season.
