Islay Ferry Slipway Closure Ahead | Glasgow News
Description
The main ferry slipway on Islay, crucial for connecting to Jura via Port Askaig, is shutting down August 24, 2026, for vital repairs — replacing worn steel and pouring concrete. While the ferry will keep running using a temporary linkspan, locals and businesses on Jura should brace for some disruption. The council is working with CalMac to minimize impact, promising minimal changes to service while keeping this lifeline active. Patience is key as essential maintenance ensures long-term reliability.
