Back to SearchUpdate received from the County of Frontenac:
Received an update about the projected ferry service interruptions related to the Howe Island County ferry docks rehabilitation project:
- An additional full-closure will be required to complete the work. It is scheduled for Monday, March 30 from 10 pm to Thursday April 2 at 2 pm.
- This work involves the rehabilitation of the ferry docks at both the island and mainland sides.
- 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 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:
- March 9, 2026, from 10:00 PM to 2:00 PM, March 12, 2026
- March 30, 2026 from 10:00 PM to 2:00 PM, April 2, 2026
- April 6, 2026, from 10:00 PM to 2:00 PM, April 9, 2026
- April 13, 2026, from 10:00 PM to 2:00 PM, April 16, 2026
The contractor has set aside 64 hours for each full closure to include time to adapt to weather events or other unforeseen circumstances. If work concludes early, service will resume early.
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.
