- 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 11th from 10 pm to Thursday, May 14th at 2 pm
