Skagway Ferry Reopens After Critical Repairs | Anchorage News

The Skagway ferry terminal is set to reopen Thursday after a month-long shutdown due to structural damage — cracks in the concrete and compromised chains forced the closure, disrupting travel and scrambling race teams preparing for the Klondike Road Relay. All 19 chains are now repaired, power is being restored, and officials are optimistic — though they urge caution before canceling other plans. Teams had to improvise, some driving from Haines or booking pricey private ferries, with one runner even taking an extra day off work to arrange support vehicles. Even with the reopening, many may still stick to backups just to be safe — but organizers expect most will adjust. It’s a win for travelers and a testament to how resilient these teams are when logistics go sideways.
