A Maritime trucking company is worried that a planned temporary shutdown of the ferry service between Digby, N.S., and Saint John, N.B., will expose its drivers to greater risks on winter roads and increase costs. Brian Reynolds of Reynolds Trucking in Shelburne, N.S., said the interruption in service runs counter to what representatives of Bay Ferries promised him last year. "They sent two men to my office in October and said there'd be no interruptions this year in service," Reynolds told CBC News. Bay Ferries announced Monday the Fundy Rose ferry will be out of service from 11 a.m. AT on Jan. 24 to 4 p.m. AT on Feb. 21. Latter said Bay Ferries tried to minimize disruption to ferry users when it chose the dates for working on the project.
