Floodgate Test After Storm Failure | Cincinnati News

Madison Road’s floodgate is shutting down Tuesday for critical testing—expect major traffic delays from 9 AM to 3 PM near Duck Creek Road. The shutdown follows a recent mechanical failure during heavy storms that left the gate unresponsive, contributing to localized flooding. City manager Sheryl Long confirmed it’s a straightforward mechanical glitch, but officials stress even a perfect gate couldn’t stop flooding in areas like Madisonville. This test is a vital step to prevent future mishaps—though Mother Nature’s fury can still overwhelm even the best defenses.
