The cabinet says a mechanic team will evaluate the problem and obtain parts for a repair. Operating status is available at (731) 693-0210 or on the ferry’s Facebook page. The ferry connects Kentucky 1354 at Hickman, Kentucky, with Missouri Route A and Route 77 near Dorena, Missouri. It is the only direct route between the two states.
