History
The ferry opened in August 1959 and was originally free.[2]
With the closing of the Pointe à la Hache Ferry in January 2013, the Belle Chasse–Scarsdale Ferry briefly became the furthest downriver vehicle crossing of the Mississippi River.[3] In May 2013, the Pointe à la Hache Ferry was reopened for light traffic, leaving the Belle Chasse–Scarsdale Ferry the furthest downriver crossing for large trucks and buses.[4]
