Ferry service has been suspended between Cumberland and Masson-Angers due to flooding on the Ottawa River.

The ferry operator announced it was suspending operations, Thursday morning, due to flooding on one of the access roads to the ferry.

Earlier, this week, the Rockland-Thurso ferry was also shut down due to high water levels.

The operators of the Quyon ferry say their service has not been affected by the high water levels.
