Kentucky-Missouri ferry down due to low water on Mississippi

HICKMAN, Ky. (AP) — A ferry that connects Kentucky and Missouri has shut down service due to low water on the Mississippi River.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet said the ferry will remain closed until further notice.

The agency says low water is keeping the ferry ramp from reaching the Kentucky landing ramp.

The ferry connects Kentucky 1354 at Hickman, Kentucky, with Missouri Route A and Route 77 near Dorena, Missouri.

Missouri and Kentucky are the only border states that are not directly connected by a road or bridge.
