After 14 weeks of routine vessel maintenance required by the U.S. Coast Guard, the St. Johns River Ferry returns to service Wednesday, carrying cars and passengers across the St. Johns River between Mayport Village and Fort George Island.
The Jacksonville Transportation Authority suspended the service on Jan. 25. Commuters rely on the ferry service to cross the St. Johns River at Florida A1A with a five-minute trip rather than the 24-mile land route without it.
