JAMESTOWN-SCOTLAND FERRY TO RUN AT REDUCED CAPACITY: Pocahontas Out for Maintenance

Jamestown-Scotland Ferry passengers are advised the fleet’s largest boat, the Pocahontas, will be taken out of service for maintenance on Tuesday, January 3, 2017, for approximately two weeks.

The Williamsburg and Surry vessels will continue to carry motorists across the James River using the normal ferry schedule. While the Pocahontas is in the shipyard, there will be a reduction in capacity of approximately 20 vehicles an hour for daily ferry operations. Drivers may experience minor delays and VDOT urges regular ferry passengers to build a few more minutes into their daily commute.

Motorists can call the ferry hotline 24-hours a day at 1-800-VAFERRY, visit www.511virginia.org, call 511, download Virginia’s free 511 mobile app, or listen to Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) 1680AM for current traffic and travel information.
