Ferry still idle

The Cave In Rock Ferry remains closed due to high water on the Ohio River.

The ferry connects Ky. 91 with Illinois Route 1. It crosses the Ohio River between Crittenden County, Ky., and Hardin County, Ill.

Heavy rains in the forecast for tonight across southern Illinois, southern Indiana and western Kentucky are likely to extend the amount of time the ferry is expected to remain closed due to high water.
