Connecticut River Ferry Remains Closed

GLASTONBURY, CT — The work week is beginning with the historic ferry between Glastonbury and Rocky Hill Glastonbury still closed.

State Department of Transportation officials said the water levels in the Connecticut River are still too high.

It's a matter of creating a bad angle for the ramp on which vehicles load and unload, state DOT officials have said. The high water creates a swifter current and a greater chance that the barge-and-tug ferry would encounter dangerous, floating debris, state DOT officials said.

Staffing issues normally prevent operation anyway on Mondays, but DOT officials sent out a warning for the week.
