Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Anderson Ferry is a ferry across the Ohio River between Cincinnati, Ohio and Constance, Kentucky. It has been in continuous operation since 1817.[1] It was originated by George W Anderson the founder of the business, sold to the Kottmyer family then known as the Kotmeyer ferry and was later sold back to the Anderson family in 1986.[2] The ferry was often used in the 19th century by Kentucky farmers bringing their product to market in Cincinnati.[3][1] It is the lone survivor of dozens of ferries that once served the Cincinnati area. The ferry is located about Шаблон:Convert west of Downtown Cincinnati.[4]

Route

On board the ferry

The ferry connects Anderson Ferry Road (a major arterial street on the Ohio side which traverses the City of Cincinnati; Delhi Township; and Green Township from south to north) with a short private road, which in turn connects with Kentucky Route 8 (the middle section) just east of its junction with Kentucky Route 20 near Constance, Kentucky. A short distance southwest from this junction is KY 20's junction with Kentucky Route 212, which provides the main access to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. It provides a shortcut for Cincinnati westsiders going to the airport located in Boone County, Kentucky.[5] Price (January 2020) for a one-way ride with a car is $5.00; or a book of 10 tickets can be had for $35.00.[6] In 2020 and 2021, the ferry saw a record amount of usage as closures and construction on the Brent Spence Bridge led to more vehicles utilizing the service.[7][2]
