UPDATE: The ferry re-opened at 4 p.m. today.
This is the second time in the last few days that the ferry has needed to shut down due to high winds.
Winds along the Ohio River were running about 20 mph out of the southwest at the ferry crossing with gusts even higher. When the wind blows upstream, it can create hazardous river conditions.
The ferry halted operations about 11:30 a.m.
The wind is predicted to lay this afternoon about dusk and the ferry is expected to reopen.
