After time out of service, the Algiers-Chalmette Ferry is back up and running, bringing relief to commuters and residents who rely on the crossing to get between the East Bank and West Bank.
For many riders, the return of the ferry means saved time, less congestion, and a more convenient route to work and school.
The crossing has long served as an important transportation connection for residents in both Algiers and Chalmette, particularly for those looking to avoid heavy interstate traffic during peak travel hours.
Morning commuters arriving for the reopening said they were happy to see the service restored and appreciated having another dependable option to cross the river.
Officials say riders are encouraged to check schedules ahead of time as operations resume and traffic patterns settle back into place.
