免费的汽车渡轮服务于2025年10月31日开始,跨越爱荷华州和威斯康星州之间的密西西比河,取代了由于安全问题而永久关闭的黑桥. A free car ferry service began on October 31, 2025, across the Mississippi River between Iowa and Wisconsin, replacing the permanently closed Black Hawk Bridge due to safety concerns. 渡轮每天运行16小时,最多运载12辆汽车,包括汽车、摩托车和10吨以下的两轴卡车,但不包括拖车、越野车和公共汽车。 The ferry, operating 16 hours daily, carries up to 12 vehicles including cars, motorcycles, and two-axle trucks under 10 tons, but excludes trailers, RVs, and buses. 它以先到先得的方式运行,周期为15分钟,有15分钟的跨越时间。 It runs on a first-come, first-served basis with 15-minute cycles, offering a 15-minute crossing. 这项服务是临时性的,而一个新的1.65亿美元的桥梁正在建造中,预计将于2027年春季开通。 The service is temporary while a new $165 million bridge is under construction, expected to open by spring 2027. 没有渡轮,司机面临30英里的绕行距离,旅行时间加长60至70分钟。 Without the ferry, drivers face a 30-mile detour adding 60 to 70 minutes to trips. 12月,服务可能因天气、维护或计划关闭而暂停。 Service may pause for weather, maintenance, or planned closures in December.
