The Cave-In-Rock Ferry is open today. The ferry resumed service on the regular service schedule at 6 a.m. today.
The Cave-In-Rock Ferry had been closed due to heavy ice on the Ohio River since just before noon on Wednesday. At that time, the river was about 75 to 80 percent covered between the banks by a large mass of floating ice. Area river pilots indicated it was the heaviest icing problem since about 1975.
Ferry operator Lonnie Lewis says the ice is gone this morning thanks to warmer weather.
