New dates for suspension of St. Johns River Ferry service
The St. Johns River Ferry, previously scheduled to be out of service between Jan. 14 and April 1, will now be hauled out from Jan. 25 to May 2.
The haul out will be conducted by Jacksonville Transportation Authority for routine maintenance, which is required by the U.S. Coast Guard, and occurs every two to three years. The date was moved due to supply chain issues for the vessel components and to minimize downtime of service, according to JTA.
During the haul out, JTA will also complete Phase V of ongoing improvements while the ferry is out of service, which includes site safety and operational improvements, bulkhead wall extensions, new catwalk accesses and mooring bollards, new warehouse equipment systems, improved signage, and bridge gantry preservation and rehabilitation.
“These improvements to the ferry and its facilities are critical as JTA addresses how we improve the regional waterborne network and expand water-based services as a viable option for commuters,” said JTA CEO Nat Ford. The improvements will be done by JTA while the ferry is out of service between January and April, but phase IV will continue after that as well. These services are expected to be completed in March 2024 and will cost $3 million, including improved entry points for riders and new dynamic information signage.
