Icy weather closes ferry between Kentucky and Missouri

(AP) - A ferry that operates between Kentucky and Missouri will remain closed until at least Friday due to icy weather. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says the Dorena-Hickman Ferry stopped service Wednesday afternoon. The ferry connects Kentucky 1354 at Hickman 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. The ferry is the only direct route between the two states.
