Bluewater Ferry Service Still Suspended

It's been a very long winter for Sombra's Bluewater Ferry.

Ice jamming on the lower St.Clair River has forced the cross border ferry to suspend services since January 10.

Manager Morgan Dalgety says they've never been shut down that long.

Dalgety hopes with warmer temperatures and open water on the US side of the river, operations will resume very soon.

The Walpole-Algonac ferry has also suspended service.
