NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority will suspend Canal Street-Alger Point ferry service to allow construction of the new Canal Street ferry terminal. The service will be discontinued Tuesday through Thursday, but a temporary terminal-to-terminal bus shuttle will be provided starting at 6 a.m. from the Algiers Point ferry terminal.
The final shuttle will leave the Canal Street ferry terminal at 8:45 p.m. The temporary shuttle bus will depart from Algiers Point every hour and every half hour from the Canal Street terminal. This suspension is necessary to mobilize the interim Mardi Gras World Ferry Terminal.
On Friday, the ferry service will resume service to the tip of Algiers, but will use the provisional ferry terminal of Mardi Gras World. During this period, ferry service hours will be reduced from 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily.
