The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) received a $2,099,151 project grant award from the Federal Transit Administration under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) to upgrade the transfer bridge lifting systems at Jamestown Landing Ferry. The grant award, issued on September 9, 2022 with a completion date of January 31, 2026, will replace the existing horizontal hydraulic cylinder cable-lift system with a safer vertical hydraulic cylinder fixed-lift system.

The upgrade aims to improve operational efficiency and safety for ferry system operators, users, and regional employers by reducing commuter delays from an unreliable transfer bridge system.
