Ferry closed due to high winds


The Cave In Rock Ferry closed around 2 p.m., today due to high winds.

Winds along the Ohio River at the ferry landing are running about 30 mph with higher gusts in mid-river. When the wind runs upstream, it can create hazardous river conditions that force the ferry to halt service..

The ferry halted operations after making a last run from the Kentucky landing about 2 p.m., CST.

Based on the weather forecast, winds are expected to remain high until into the evening hours.
