WaterBridge Ferries has released an announcement pertaining to travel interruption between Fauquier and Needles over the next two weekends. It states:

“This Friday and Saturday evening (April 20 & 21st) at 22:00, the Needles Ferry will be taken out of service until 01:00 Saturday and Sunday morning respectively. Then, while underway, we will continue undergoing a necessary Mechanical refit. We are predicting we will be off schedule during this period, but still running continuously with some minor service interruptions for the following 7 (seven) days, which could result in minor delays to travelers depending on traffic volume.

The following Friday and Saturday evening (April 27 & 28th) at 22:00, the Needles Ferry will, again, be taken out of service until 02:00 Saturday and Sunday mornings respectively.

WaterBridge Ferries regrets any inconvenience this causes our passengers but we will strive to complete this necessary maintenance in as a timely a manner as possible. [We] will send an update soon after the refit has commenced with a more accurate completion date.”
