Riverhurst Ferry open for the season

The Riverhurst Ferry is now open and operating, according to the Ministry of Highways.

The ferry typically runs from mid-May before being shut down for the winter around December.

The ministry is letting those who use the ferry know that there is a scheduled shutdown scheduled in early November to install a new engine. More specific timelines will be announced in the fall.

The current engines, both the primary and spare, have reached the end of their lifecycle. Parts are no longer available for them, requiring longer lead times, and custom fabrication that leads to service outages.
