SOUTHPORT – The N.C. Department of Transportation’s Southport-Fort Fisher ferry route will operate under weight restrictions until further notice, after a ramp at the Southport terminal was damaged over the weekend.
Under the weight restrictions, no vehicles over 18 tons will be allowed onto the ramp. This will include tractor trailers, dump trucks, heavy equipment, fuel tankers and similar types of vehicles or equipment.
School buses, campers, trucks and trailers are not restricted and will be allowed to board.
The weight restrictions will remain in place until repairs to the ramp system are complete.
