Due to high winds, the Cave-in-Rock Ferry is temporarily closed. The ferry halted service at about 10:10 a.m.
District 1 spokesman Keith Todd from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says winds were out of the west-southwest with gusts to 45 mph, with a wind advisory in effect until 3:00 this afternoon. He notes that winds are expected to continue to be gusty into the evening hours.
