NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Ahead of the NCAA Men’s Final Four weekend, the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA) has announced it will halt some services and modify others.
Bus Services
Beginning Friday, April 1, bus services along the #5 Marigny-Bywater and the #55 Elysian Fields at Elysian Fields Avenue will be terminated through Monday, April 4.
Ferry Services
The RTA reports that the Algiers Point-Canal Street ferry service will be extended from April 1 through the 3. The ferry will begin operating from Algiers Point at 6 a.m. with the last service leaving Canal Street at 12:15 a.m.
On Sunday night, the RTA will replace the Algiers Point ferry service with a bus bridge due to a fireworks show along the river. The bus bridge will begin at 9:30 p.m. due to Coast Guard regulations and will reopen once given the all-clear.
