The Belle Chasse–Scarsdale Ferry is a ferry across the Mississippi River in the U.S. state of Louisiana, connecting Belle Chasse and Scarsdale and is maintained by Plaquemines Parish.[1] It carries a $1 toll for 2-axle vehicles, $2 for vehicles with at least 3 axles, and $.50 for motorcycles. The eastbank ferry leaves every 15 and 45 minutes on the hour between 5:15 AM and 10:15 PM; the westbank ferry leaves on the top and bottom of every hour between 5:00 AM and 10:00 PM.

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]
