SAUSALITO, Calif. (KGO) — Ferry service between Sausalito and San Francisco is likely suspended for several more days due to a structural problem with the pier in Sausalito.

Instead of the Golden Gate Ferry, passengers on Monday are being told to look for busses parked in front of the terminal. Ferries are expected to resume as normal later this week once repairs are made.

The Sausolito pier remains closed after an issue requiring immediate attention was discovered during a routine inspection on Friday.

In an update Monday, the ferry service said damage was discovered on one of the pier’s four pylons.

Sweden-based boat company Candela is working to bring electric ferries to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Over the weekend, signs could be seen around the pier saying all ferry service between San Francisco and Sausalito had been suspended.

On Sunday, ABC7 News spotted a large crane and a barge ready to do work. However, one City Council member said they couldn’t do any work until low tide.

The change confused visitors at the dock.

“I was originally planning to ride a ferry from San Francisco to here then back. So luckily we drove here so I guess we’re OK,” South Bay resident Michael Wang said.

Once repairs are made in the next couple days, there will be another inspection before the ferry service will reopen.
