LYME, CT – The Connecticut Department of Transportation has announced that Chester-Hadlyme ferry service is temporarily closed for repairs to the 76-year-old Selden III.

DOT spokeswoman Eva Zymaris said the vessel, which has run between Chester and Hadlyme since 1950, has been removed from service pending drydock maintenance and seal replacement at the shipyard.
