Council / Vidlin linkspan work to start next week
ESSENTIAL work on the linkspan at Vidlin Ferry Terminal will begin next week.
Work to install a newly-refurbished linkspan is expected to take around four days, from 2pm on Monday 19 April, weather permitting.
The Skerries service at 1pm on Monday 19 April, and 11am on Friday 23 April will be unaffected, and will run as normal.
The Whalsay service will operate out of Laxo while the work is taking place.
Shetland Islands Council would like to apologise to passengers for any inconvenience caused.
Anyone affected by these changes can contact ferry services to discuss alternative arrangements on 01595 744200.
