POOLESVILLE, Md. â âI work in Virginia, and have always worked in Virginia. The ferry has always been my way into Virginia,â said Karla Berger, a health care worker at a hospital in Virginia.
But she lives across the Potomac River, in Poolesville, Maryland.
The fastest way for her to get to work is Whiteâs Ferry.
âIt is a major transportation link,â said Kerri Cook, the president of the Poolesville Town Council.
âSomewhere between 600 and 800 cars a day,â said Cook.
