The Cave in Rock Ferry is expected to close sometime late this afternoon due to rising floodwaters on the Ohio River.
The anticipated halt in service comes more than a day earlier than expected. Ferry operator Lonnie Lewis says the Ohio River has been rising about a half inch an hour this morning, putting floodwaters at the edge of Ky. Hwy. 91. At that rate, the ferry will have to halt service sometime late this afternoon, a more specific time could be announced later.
