The Cave In Rock Ferry has shut down for the second time
this year due to ice flows on the Ohio River.

Ferry operator Lonnie Lewis says the river is about 75 to 80 percent covered between the banks by a large mass of floating ice. The ice is moving, but the chunks are getting large enough to present a hazard to the ferry.
Lewis says several tow boat pilots that run the Ohio near the ferry crossing have indicated this is the worst ice has been since about 1975.
He expects it will take several days of above freezing weather to allow the ferry to resume operation.
