Wednesday, June 11, 2025 at 12:00 PM
(Jacksonville, FL – June 11, 2025) Today, the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) announced the reopening of the St. Johns River Ferry service this Friday, June 13th, two-weeks ahead of schedule. This closure followed an incident that occurred on the evening of Sunday, May 4th when the ferry made contact with the boarding ramp while departing from Mayport Landing.
The JTA is pleased to report that during this time, they also were able to work proactively and simultaneously to complete most of the Coast Guard required maintenance that was scheduled to happen next year. This is expected to greatly reduce the amount of time needed for that scheduled maintenance.
