Back to SearchHowe Island County operated ferry docks rehabilitation project
Clearwater Structures Inc. has been awarded Contract 2022-4030 for the Howe Island Ferry Terminals project on behalf of the Ministry of Transportation. This work involves the rehabilitation of the ferry docks at the Howe Island Mainland Side and Frontenac Islands Township side.
Construction is scheduled to be completed by April 30, 2026.
A mainland detour route is provided and delineated by detour signage.
The Township three-car ferry will remain in extended operation during closures.
The island-side parking lot will be closed for the duration of the project to ensure the dry hydrant, boat launch, and private laneways remain unobstructed by construction activities and equipment.
