Ferry on St. Clair River shut down after ice damages dock
MARINE CITY, Mich. — A ferry connecting cities in Ontario and Michigan across the St. Clair River has been shut down indefinitely due to damage by an ice jam to its Canadian dock.
The Times Herald of Port Huron reports owners of the Bluewater Ferry announced the closure Thursday and aren’t sure when the ferry connecting Sombra, Ont., and Marine City, Mich., will resume operations.
Extensive structural damage is reported at the dock.
Rob Dalgety, who owns the ferry with his brother, says contractors planned to assess the damage Friday and determine what steps are needed next.
