By way of reminders related to the Howe Island County Ferry docks rehabilitation project:
- The next full closure is scheduled from this Monday, May 11 at 10pm to Thursday May 14th at 2pm.
- Further closures scheduled to complete the work: Monday, May 18th from 10pm to Thursday, May 21st at 2pm; and Monday, May 25th from 10pm to Thursday, May 28th at 2pm.
- The work is forecasted for completion in mid-June.
- The contractor has set aside 64 hours for each remaining full closure to include time to adapt to weather events or other unforeseen circumstances. If work concludes early, service will resume early.
- This work involves the rehabilitation of the ferry docks at both the island and mainland sides.
- A mainland detour route is provided and delineated by detour signage.
- The Township three-car ferry will remain in extended operation during closures to ensure passage on and off the island.
- The island-side parking area is closed for the duration of the project to ensure the dry hydrant, boat launch, and private laneways remain unobstructed by construction activities and equipment.
The remaining planned ferry service interruptions are:
64-hour full closures:
- Monday, May 18th from 10pm to Thursday, May 21st at 2pm
- Monday, May 25th from 10pm to Thursday, May 28th at 2pm
As always, unforeseen circumstances may necessitate changes to this schedule. Further full closures may be required to complete the work. We will keep you apprised of any new developments as soon as they emerge.
This is a coordinated effort among MTO, contractor, Township, and County staff. Your patience and understanding is appreciated.
