cowes floating bridge

Floating bridge goes out of service (again) (and again)

The Isle of Wight council have advised that the Cowes floating bridge is out of service.

They say,

The foot passenger only Jenny boat service is in place until 7pm tonight.

Thereafter the water taxi service will be in place.

Once again, we apologise the disruption to travel this may have caused.

Update
On Thursday the bridge is still out of action with the IWC saying,

Please be aware that a foot passenger only service is running between 5am and 11pm until further notice, due to a mechanical issue with the floating bridge.

We’re really sorry about the disruption this may have caused.

Check the Website
We could suggest keeping an eye on the official floating bridge Website, but that currently states the service is running.

Cllr Karl Love has been down to the floating bridge to see what the problem is and advises there is a problem with the prow cable.
