The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says ferry captain Edward Floyd and the crew spent Tuesday becoming familiar with the operation of the new barge. The ferry should be back in service this morning on the regular winter operating schedule.
The ferry connects Kentucky 1354 at Hickman with Missouri Route A and Route 77 near Dorena, Missouri. The ferry is the only direct route between the two states.
