Valley View Ferry to be closed briefly this Saturday

NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. (WTVQ) – The Valley View Ferry will be closed for a short time Saturday, October 22, for a police matter.

The ferry will be closed from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

It will be open during all other regularly scheduled hours of operation on Saturday.

Lexington Police say officers will be working with the Lexington Fire Department to recover some vehicles that were spotted in the river several months ago.

Police say at this time, the vehicles are not associated with an investigation or case.

Vehicle recovery organizers say they had to wait until water conditions were ideal and for the fire department to be able to work the recovery into its training schedule.

The Valley View Ferry shuttles vehicles across the Kentucky River between Madison and Jessamine counties.

The ferry began operations in 1785.
