PADUCAH, Ky. (AP) — One of two ferries that had closed due to mechanical issues has reopened.

The Cave-in-Rock Ferry, which carries about 500 vehicles daily across the Ohio River between Kentucky and Illinois, reopened at 6 a.m. Tuesday, Kentucky transportation officials said.

The Dorena-Hickman Ferry, which carries vehicles across the Mississippi River between Kentucky and Missouri, is expected to resume service on Saturday, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet said in a statement. The ferry remained closed for additional engine repairs. A dredge is working in the Hickman Harbor, and officials hope the dredge work can be completed about the same time as the engine repairs are done.
