​OCRACOKE – The N.C. Department of Transportation’s Ferry Division will be returning to its full schedule on Pamlico Sound routes between Cedar Island, Swan Quarter and Ocracoke April 21.  A test run with the M/V Swan Quarter today revealed that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ dredging efforts made vast improvements to ferry channel depths and widths in Bigfoot Slough, allowing safe passage for all of the state’s ferries.

The full schedule beginning April 21, weather permitting, is as follows:

• Ocracoke to Cedar Island:  7:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
• Cedar Island to Ocracoke: 7:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
• Ocracoke to Swan Quarter: 7 a.m., 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
