Gondola Point Ferry
The Gondola Point Ferry is a cable ferry in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The ferry crosses the Kennebecasis River, linking Gondola Point in Quispamsis on the southern bank, to Reed's Point on the Kingston Peninsula. The ferry carries New Brunswick Route 119, connecting it to New Brunswick Route 845 on the Kingston Peninsula.[1][2]
The crossing is 0.7 kilometres (0.43 mi) in length, takes 5 minutes, and is free of tolls. Two ferries operate on the crossing, each carrying up to 24 cars at a time. The service operates with a single ferry 24 hours a day all year, with the second ferry brought into service at busy periods. It is operated by the New Brunswick Department of Transportation.[1][3]
The ferry is one of the oldest in the province, dating back to 1825.[4]
