NEW DEAL: Ferry will open on Wednesday

The details are unclear at this time, but it looks like a deal late today will stave off the closing of the Cave In Rock Ferry tomorrow.

As late as 5pm this afternoon, there was an impasse in negotiating a new contact. The current contract between Illinois and Kentucky and the ferry owner expires tonight at midnight.

About 7pm, officials said the ferry will open on Tuesday.
