Caltrans officials have extended the time for repairs to a Solano County ferry until next week, agency officials said. The Real McCoy II ferry will be out of service until Aug. 31 because a loading apron on the ferry sustained damage, according to Caltrans. The repairs require custom parts, which have to be manufactured and delivered, Caltrans officials said. The Real McCoy II, also known as the Cache Slough Ferry, provides service along state Highway 84 from Ryer Island to the city of Rio Vista. It runs every 20 minutes starting on the hour, Caltrans officials said. The officials are asking motorists to use either the J-Mack Ferry or the Minor Slough Bridge for nighttime travel between Ryer Island and other Solano County communities. Motorists can get the latest information about the Real McCoy II on a ferry update line at (510) 622-0120.
