Floating Crane Aids In Repairs
Repairs are being made to the damaged passenger ramp at the Gabriola Ferry terminal across from Port Place Mall.
The ramp was damaged when a truck loaded with asphalt drove onto the trestle supported ramp which was designed to carry people and not heavily laden trucks. A portion of the trestle collapsed and the truck wound up in the water. Fortunately the driver escaped serious injury by jumping from the truck.
In the meantime a water taxi is bringing Gabriola foot passengers to the F dock in the inner harbour, while car traffic is being re-routed to Duke Point terminal. The terminal is not expected to return to regular use until the end of August.
