It carries a $1 toll for 2-axle vehicles, $2 for vehicles with at least 3 axles, and $.50 for motorcycles. The eastbank ferry leaves every 15 and 45 minutes on the hour between 5:15 AM and 12:15 AM; the westbank ferry leaves on the top and bottom of every hour between 5 AM and Midnight.
The ferry opened in August 1959 and was originally free.
With the closing of the Pointe à la Hache Ferry in January 2013, the Belle Chasse-Scarsdale Ferry briefly became the furthest downriver vehicle crossing of the Mississippi River. In May 2013, the Pointe à la Hache Ferry was reopened for light traffic, leaving the Belle Chasse-Scarsdale Ferry the furthest downriver crossing for large trucks and buses.
