The Waikerie ferry will be closed this Wednesday, 23 November, between 9am and 5pm, to safely transfer the ferry to the high flow ramp to allow services to continue as water levels rise.

With River Murray water levels continuing to rise steadily, some road and ferry closures are expected within the next week. The Department is continuing to work to prepare for these closures, and to establish detours.
