While Shrewsbury's Porthill Bridge is closed for essential maintenance work, the Sabrina Boat and The Boathouse pub have teamed up with Shrewsbury BID to introduce a replacement river shuttle.
The new river ferry has been introduced while the Porthill Bridge is closed.
Porthill Bridge is expected to be closed for three weeks while Shropshire Council carries out maintenance work, and the river shuttle started today, costing £1 return for adults or £2.50 return for families. “We are delighted to have been able to work with Sabrina Boat and The Boathouse to arrange the river shuttle service, which we hope will prove to be a popular way of getting into town.”
