The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

Dear Editor,

Lyons Ferry Marina would like to thank the County Commissioners, Port of Columbia and the County Engineer for helping to resolve a posible interruption of our business by a road construction project on Lyons Ferry Rd. Originally slated for June & July 2016 this project would have closed the road for 60 days during our peak season. An alternate road closure date has been set to start on or after August 15th 2016. Although not ideal we will only have a few weeks of our summer season affected instead of eight. We wish it was later, the county wishes it could start sooner. When both parties walk away from the table wishing for a little more it seems to be a fair agreement for all. We will post information on detours on our website and Facebook page as August approaches. Again, thank you to all parties involved and especially to our customers for your support.

Jim and Angela Macarthur
