Weight restrictions have been placed on the Southport-Fort Fisher ferry route after a ramp at the Southport terminal was damaged over the weekend.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation on Tuesday announced the restrictions will be in place “until further notice.”

Any vehicle weighing over 18 tons, including tractor trailers, dump trucks, heavy equipment, fuel tankers and similar types of vehicles or equipment, will not be allowed onto the ramp.
“School buses, campers, trucks and trailers are not restricted and will be allowed to board,” according to a DOT release.
The restrictions will remain in place until the ramp system is repaired.
