The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has announced that Cave-in-Rock Ferry is temporarily closed due to high winds. According to District 1 spokesman Keith Todd, the ferry halted service just before 9:00 Monday morning.
Todd reports that winds are out of the west at about 20 miles per hour with gusts to 35 mph. He says when the wind is out of the west or southwest it can create hazardous river conditions.
The ferry will remain closed until winds drop and river conditions improve.
The Cave-in-Rock Ferry will provide timely notice when the ferry is able to resume operation.
