The New Roads–St. Francisville Ferry was a ferry service that connected Louisiana Highway 10 across the Mississippi River between New Roads and St. Francisville, Louisiana, United States.[1][2] The normal operating hours for the 35-car ferry were 5 am to 9 pm, daily.[3]

History

The ferry was shut down on May 5, 2011, as the John James Audubon Bridge was opened early due to concerns about rising flood waters.[4]
