In time for Memorial Day weekend, the ferry running between Providence and Newport is scheduled to resume trips tomorrow after being out of action for two days, according to the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority.
The ferry has undergone mechanical work and did not run yesterday or today, said Karen Mensel, a RIPTA spokeswoman. She said she did not know what the mechanical work was, as the vessel is owned and operated by New England Fast Ferry.

The scheduled that resumes tomorrow will be in place until Oct. 16.

The ferry is set to run a regular weekday schedule on Monday, Memorial Day.
