ELECTRICAL ISSUE BEHIND CONTINUING FLOATING BRIDGE SUSPENSION

An electrical fault has been confirmed as the reason behind the suspension of the Cowes Floating Bridge, which remains out of action today (Sunday). It was early yesterday morning that the troubled Floating Bridge No.6 was taken out of service, causing disruption for those crossing the River Medina between East and West Cowes. The Isle of Wight Council has now confirmed that the service will remain out of action for the rest of the weekend. It’s unclear if Monday morning’s commute to work and school will also be impacted. The usual launch service is in place for foot passengers and cyclists. The Isle of Wight Council apologises for any inconvenience.
