Rocky Hill-Glastonbury Ferry to Close Mondays in August

                The Rocky Hill-Glastonbury Ferry across the Connecticut River will be closed on the remaining Mondays in August – the 15^th, 22^nd and 29^th – due to a staff shortage. There will be a full schedule during Labor Day week, after which staffing requirements will be re-evaluated.

                The Rocky Hill-Glastonbury and Chester-Hadlyme ferries normally operate every day between April 1 and November 30 each year (except Thanksgiving).
