Ice Removal

[mgb]

Mike: This is the Crossing between Harding's Point and Westfield, just outside Saint John New Brunswick.

Joe: They never pull the ferries out, most people wouldn't take the ice if it was available. In this section of the river the current is usually very strong and it doesn't always freeze up like this, only in certain conditions.

Jack: Winters here have been suspect for the last few years. We used to have an ice road when it was more predictable; there was no official measurement by the gov't of thickness, just local knowledge and travel at own risk. I believe it was 11 km's long and saved about 20 minutes on the trip to the city, but it crossed a different river.
