SEATTLE — The Fauntleroy ferry terminal in West Seattle returned to service Friday afternoon after being closed for several hours due to maintenance.

Two-boat service is resuming. 

The ferry terminal closed about noon and reopened just before 2:30 p.m. A control panel issue wouldn’t allow the span to move, according to Washington State Ferries.

A maintenance team from Eagle Harbor was on-site and working to resolve the issue, state ferries said.

During the closure, Seattle-bound traffic on the Vashon-Southworth-Fauntleroy triangle route was diverted to Colman Dock in downtown Seattle.

The Vashon to Southworth terminal and the Tahlequah terminal on the south end of Vashon Island remained open during the closure.
