The commute can be a grind for all of us but when you live in Kingston in the winter, its a different kind of a challenge. It’s made worse this year when the ferry service the residents depend on is diminished.
One of two ferrys at Gondola Point has been in drydock in Nova Scotia since late November. The William Pitt 2 was supposed to undergo the work in October but it never left the Saint John Port until last month. The work itself is supposed to take 4 weeks but the ferry is not back yet.
In its place is a much smaller ferry and the other regular ferry, the Gordon Fairweather.
CHSJ News has attempted to contact the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure to see when the William Pitt 2 might be back and we have yet to hear back from them.
