Gagetown ferry closure causes headaches for residents farmers


The Gagetown Ferry is a cable ferry in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The ferry crosses the Saint John River, linking Gagetown on the west bank with Lower Jemseg on the east bank.

The crossing is 0.7 kilometres (0.43 mi) in length, takes 5 minutes, and is free of tolls. The ferry carries up to 12 cars at a time, and operates 24 hours a day all year. It is operated by the New Brunswick Department of Transportation.

As of February, 2016, the ferry service has been eliminated as part of a cost-saving measure put in place by the government. The decision created controversy and residents and users organized to pressure the government to maintain the ferry service.
