The frozen temperatures quickly caused the rivers to cover an ice, shutting down Kampsville, Brussels and Golden Eagle Ferries. The Winfield Ferry is open Monday - Saturday 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Joe Paige Bridge will be doing lifts every four hours to maximum height, if no barge traffic causes it to lift. Due to the cold temperatures the lift may be slower than normal. (Diane Brangenberg/River County News)
