The Chalmette–Lower Algiers Ferry is a ferry across the Mississippi River in the U.S. state of Louisiana, connecting Chalmette and Algiers.[1][2]

History

The ferry crossing has seen reduced use, especially among residents of Arabi at the western end of St. Bernard Parish, since the opening of the second span of the Crescent City Connection in 1988.
