BOSTON (WBZNewsRadio) - Much of the Northeast is hunkering down ahead of Hurricane Lee and with high wind gusts on the horizon, the MBTA and Steamship Authority are making a couple changes to ferry schedules for both Friday, September 15th and Saturday, September 16th.
"The worst of the winds are most likely to begin late Friday evening." The Steamship Authority said. "Service on the Nantucket route may begin to be disrupted Friday night. Cancellations are expected on both routes on Saturday, but the length of the service disruptions will depend on how quickly the storm moves through the area and the condition of the seas and our facilities after the winds die down."
For Friday September 16th:
Lynn Ferry: All inbound and outbound trips are cancelled.
East Boston Ferry: All inbound and outbound trips will be cancelled following the conclusion of the outbound 6:45 PM trip from Long Wharf to Lewis Mall Wharf.
Charlestown Ferry: All inbound and outbound trips will be cancelled following the conclusion of the outbound 6:30 PM trip from Long Wharf (South) to Charlestown Navy Yard.
Hingham/Hull Ferry: All inbound and outbound trips will be cancelled following the conclusion of the outbound 8:25 PM trip from Long Wharf (North) to Hull and Hingham.
Winthrop Ferry and Hingham-Rowes Wharf Ferry services will operate as scheduled.
On Saturday, September 16, all MBTA ferry services will be cancelled.
On Sunday, September 17, all MBTA ferry services will operate their normal schedules.
All change-fees and cancellation-fees will be waived for any travel booked for Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
