UPDATED: Walpole Island Ferry Port Undergoing Routine Assessment

Some changes to the Walpole Island Ferry schedule next week.

Officials say the ferry between Walpole and Algonac, Michigan will be running on an altered schedule Monday due to a routine safety inspection and port assessment by Transport Canada.

The ferry will run 6:30 until 9, then shut down from 9am until 3, with service resuming from 3 until 10 at night. Crews were expected to continue their work on Tuesday, but finished ahead of schedule.

Regular full-day service will resume Tuesday morning.

Meantime, as a new board of directors takes over running the Walpole Island Ferry, officials say a new website and social media pages are being developed and should be online soon.
