Car ferry begins serving the Mississippi River crossing at Lansing ...

Monday morning, November 3, the Cassville Car Ferry began transporting vehicles and people back and forth across the main channel of the Mississippi River at Lansing, allowing motorists to avoid the long detours to the north or south since the permanent closing of the Black Hawk Bridge Monday, October 20. Pictured above is the unloading of vehicles from the ferry at the landing on the Iowa side of the river, located at the Lansing City Marina. A full slate of information provided by the Iowa and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation about the car ferry operation can be found in the October 29 edition of The Standard and can also be found on the website dedicated to the bridge replacement project at https://iowadot.gov/modes-travel/roads-highways/major-construction-proje..., including multiple live camera feeds from the Iowa ferry landing site and the ferry landing site on the Wisconsin side, which is located just to the south of the bridge construction site. A broader live camera feed of the bridge construction site, along with other information about the project can be found online at the bridge project website, which is located at https://iowadot.gov/modes-travel/roads-highways/major-construction-proje....
