Va. co-owner’s donation of White’s Ferry paves way for Potomac River crossing’s reopening

A Virginia co-owner has donated the White’s Ferry, a long-dormant transportation service connecting Virginia and Maryland, which could pave the way for its reopening after a six-year suspension. This ferry, one of the few remaining in the nation, had been closed since December 2020, affecting local commuters who relied on it for daily crossings. The donation signals a potential revival, offering hope to residents and businesses on both sides of the Potomac River that the ferry service will resume, easing cross-river travel woes.
