The Keller Ferry will be closed Friday, the state Dept of Transportation announce Thursday afternoon.

The ferry that shuttles travelers, workers and school buses across Lake Roosevelt every half hour will not do so from 6 a.m. until as late as 9 p.m., the DOT said in a general email sent just after 2 p.m. Thursday.

Drivers should seek alternate state routes while crews move the north terminal from the low water ramp on the San Poil Arm to the main location on the Columbia River north shore.

The ferry normally operates from 6a.m. until midnight, seven days per week.

For route status, dial 5-1-1 (in Washington State) or 206-464-6400 and follow the prompts for ferry information. Keller Ferry information is option 6 (or say “Keller Ferry”) when you reach the main Washington State Ferries menu.
