Isle of Wight Floating Bridge

The Cowes Floating Bridge will be out of service from Monday 22nd September to Friday 3rd October for its September re-fit. This will be to facilitate the replacement of the drive chains, servicing of the guidewheels, changing the hydraulic oil and remedial works to the prows. A launch service will be in place for pedestrians and cyclists during this time.

The Cowes Floating Bridge carries vehicles, bikes and foot passengers between Cowes & East Cowes 7 days a week, all year round.

The short crossing across the river Medina only takes a few minutes.

Monday to Saturday: 0500 to 0030
Sundays: 0630 to 0030

The service is operated by the Isle of Wight Council and saves a 11 mile round trip by road.
