The Howe Island County Ferry will be briefly out of service this morning, March 18, from approximately 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. to allow for cable maintenance.
The Ministry of Transportation and a towing contractor will be on site to tension and tighten both the drive and guide cables. Officials note the work was delayed from an earlier scheduled maintenance window because the towing contractor was busy responding to heavy vehicle recoveries.
Residents and commuters are encouraged to plan ahead for the short disruption. Normal ferry operations are expected to resume shortly after maintenance is completed.
