摘要：	A new contract between the operator of the Cave-in-Rock Ferry and two states that fund it will keep the ferry running. The contract was announced on the last day of scheduled operation. The Cave-in-Rock Ferry at Ohio River Mile 881 will continue operating between Crittenden County, Ky., and Hardin County, Ill., on its regular 16-hour-a-day schedule from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet reported. Roughly 500 vehicles a day make the crossing. Without it, the normally 10-min-ute commute takes 70 minutes. For many Illinois residents, Marion, Ky., provides the closest full-service grocery store. In addition to providing a significant transportation and commerce connection, the ferry links hiking and outdoor activities in the Shawnee National Forest of southern Illinois with the scenic Amish community in Crittenden County, Ky., serving as a tourist attraction.
