The Cowes and East Cowes Floating Bridge will be out of action again today (Monday) - during the morning school run - to allow for the completion of maintenance work.
It will combine with Southern Water work on Fairlee Road, and the temporary lights outside Medina College and the leisure centre, for a busier-than-normal commute.
The chain ferry ground to halt on Wednesday, due to an electrical fault.
On Saturday afternoon (October 1), it returned to service.
However, it will be out of action between 8am and 2pm today (Monday, October 3), for outstanding maintenance work.
A new ‘shoe’ will be fitted, to lessen the noise when the ferry's prow hits the slipway, its operator, the Isle of Wight Council, said.
The foot passenger launch will be in service.
