Traffic is again crossing a narrow stretch of southern Lake Champlain, thanks to a temporary ferry service that began operation Monday...
New York state Department of Transportation officials said the free ferry service will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The ferry departs Vermont on the hour and half-hour, and New York on the quarter hour and three-quarter hour.
For now, there's a two-axle, 15-ton weight limit for vehicles boarding the ferry. Officials said the restriction will be increased to 40 tons and multiple axles when a second ferry begins operating later this month.
The ferry, operated by the Burlington, Vt.-based Lake Champlain Transportation Co., can accommodate 50 vehicles.
