LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) -A notification about the Cameron Parish ferry shutting down, isn’t unusual, but it was announced the ferry that connects the two sides of the parish is closed for 8 weeks, and essential services, like law enforcement, are being impacted.
“That’s our only link to the west side, unless we go through Calcasieu Parish, through 210 and I-10, and of course that’s what we’re doing now,” said Cameron Parish Sheriff Ron Johnson. “We have to put extra personnel over there.”
