DELDOT Announces The Woodland Ferry Is Now Open

Woodland Ferry Now Open

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) announces that the Woodland Ferry is now open to traffic. After months of needed repairs, the Woodland Ferry reopened on August 21.

We appreciate everyone’s patience during this time and are pleased that the ferry is again open to the public.

From a post on the DELDOT Facebook page … “The Ferry closed briefly after a piece of wood got stuck in one of the Ferry’s thrusters. But, the debris has been cleared away, and the vessel is back and fully operational.

“We also changed the Ferry’s oil and conducted a routine maintenance. No additional problems are expected,” said DelDOT South District Engineer Alastair Probert.”

The Woodland Ferry takes an estimated 45,000 passengers each year from Woodland Ferry Road in Seaford down the Nanticoke River. The Ferry operates from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., 363 days per year, with the exception of Christmas and Thanksgiving Day.
