Dorena-Hickman Ferry closed while improvements completed

Tuesday, November 18, 2014

EAST PRAIRIE - The Dorena-Hickman Ferry will be closed for about one week starting today.

The closure is to allow the ferry to travel to a Memphis shipyard to be outfitted for a new barge. The work is expected to take about a week, but could take longer.

Once the re-fit for the new barge is completed, the ferry will undergo a safety inspection by the U.S. Coast Guard before returning to service.
