BATON ROUGE - Heavy fog has forced the Plaquemine ferry to go in and out of service Wednesday.

According to DOTD, the ferry was closed around 5 p.m. Wednesday. It's the second time the vessel was closed this afternoon due to poor visibility brought on by the fog. 

The Plaquemine Ferry is currently out of service due to fog.
