What's happening now?
Good news! The Marion Street vehicle and bicycle exit at our Seattle terminal reopened in May. The exit was closed in October 2020 so our Colman Dock project could construct the new concrete trestle and for the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) to repave Alaskan Way and build new sidewalks. This reopening improves loading and offloading times for both our Bremerton and Bainbridge vessels. Please see the updated construction map for more details about vehicle movements from the Marion Street Exit. Thanks to all of our customers for your patience during the closure of this exit. There will be intermittent closures of the Marion Street Exit to accomodate other construction at Colman Dock or along Alaskan Way. We'll keep ferry customers apprised via social media as these closures occur.
Take a look at this new video that shows the terminal building nearing completion. We expect to open the building this summer, with the remaining key elements of the project in spring 2023.
All passenger waiting areas for ferries to Bainbridge Island and Bremerton have moved into the first part of the new terminal building. An elevated pedestrian walkway connects the Marion Street Bridge to the new ferry terminal building.
