PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The Providence-to-Newport ferry will remain closed through Friday after it crashed into a buoy last weekend while trying to avoid another boat.
SeaStreak says it hopes to resume service Saturday, a week after the crash that knocked it out of service.
The ferry was sent to New York for repairs, after it was damaged during a journey from Narragansett to Providence on June 17. There has been no ferry service since then.

The crash happened on the second day of the season.
The hour-long route across Narragansett Bay was so popular during its inaugural season last year that state officials are offering more trips this year, as well as a joint-ticketing agreement with Amtrak that lets passengers buy train and ferry tickets at the same time.
