Ferry closing Monday morning

The ferry Oscar B. will go out of service Monday morning for repairs.

The ferry will be out of service from 7:30 a.m. to 12 noon, Wahkiakum County Public Works Director Chuck Beyer said Tuesday.

Beyer said the county mechanic will replace an exhaust pipe which has been vibrating and shearing bolts. The problem has caused some outages of service.

Another technician will work on a problem in the vessel's alarm system, Beyer said.
