Motorists planning to cross Lake Diefenbaker via the Riverhurst Ferry will need to make alternate arrangements Tuesday, as the ferry is temporarily out of service for maintenance.

According to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways, the Riverhurst Ferry will be closed for repairs from 8:00 a.m. to approximately 6:00 p.m. on July 29.

The closure is required to complete scheduled mechanical work.
