Commuters may need to reassess their travel plans as the weekend approaches, with a required maintenance check set to reduce ferry crossings.

The Upper Arrow Lake Ferry that connects Highway 23 to Shelter Bay (west side) and Galena Bay (east side), will cut late-night sailings until Saturday, Jan.18.

The final sailing from Shelter Bay is scheduled for 9 p.m. on Jan. 16, and the last sailing from Galena Bay will depart at 9:30 p.m. on the same day.

The ferry typically sails every hour until midnight.

The next update on ferry sailings is expected at 4:30 p.m. Jan. 18, according to Drive BC.
