Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Spokesman Keith Todd says state officials have recently talked to several ferry companies about the kinds of services they can provide to transport traffic across Kentucky as crews continue to excavate and eventually repair Eggners Ferry Bridge.
According to Todd, plans to provide a ferry service is still in the early stages, but state officials plan to bid the contract out.

The transportation official says before state officials can move forward with plans to provide a ferry service across Kentucky Lake, engineering and environmental concerns have to be answered first.

Progress continues to be made at Eggners Ferry Bridge as crews continue to remove debris from the bridge that fell into the water after an ocean going vessel, the Delta Mariner crashed into the bridge, which knocked off one the bridge’s spans.
