The Cave in Rock Ferry across the Ohio Rivers was shut down early this afternoon due to high winds. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokesman Keith Todd said the winds will likely keep the ferry closed until dark, when the winds are forecast to subside.
The ferry connects Ky. 91 in Crittenden County to Ill. 1 on the other side of the river.
The ferry normally operates from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days days a week. The ferry carries about 500 vehicles across the Ohio River in an average day.
