Seaford, Del. – Commuters and travelers in Sussex County will need to plan ahead this week as the Woodland Ferry prepares to close for its annual maintenance and a U.S. Coast Guard inspection. Service will stop on Thursday, September 11, and the ferry is expected to resume operations at 7 a.m. on Sunday, September 22.
The ferry, which provides a critical crossing over the Nanticoke River, is used by both local residents and visitors exploring the area. Officials say the closure is routine but necessary to keep the ferry safe and reliable for the public.
During the closure, drivers will need to take alternative routes, which could add several miles to their trips. Transportation officials advise travelers to allow extra time and check updates before heading out.
