The Dorena-Hickman Ferry is closed this week to allow dredging in the Hickman Harbor.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers should have a dredge working in the harbor most of the week. While that work is taking place, the ferry will be shut down for maintenance work.

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

The ferry operates with regular river crossings during daylight hours. Passenger vehicles can use the ferry for $14, with additional tolls for trucks, motor homes, and vehicles pulling trailers. There are discounts for vehicles making return crossings.

Missouri and Kentucky have the geographic distinction of being the only border states that are not directly connected by a road or bridge. The only direct route between the two states is the Dorena-Hickman Ferry.
