The Delaware River and Bay Authority has received a $20 million federal grant toward the purchase of a new hybrid ferry to replace a more-than-40-year-old diesel ferry that runs between Lewes, Delaware, and Cape May.

The grant from the Department of Transportation will help offset the cost of the new ferry, estimated at $81.5 million. It will replace one of the four existing ferries.
