Madison Road Floodgate Shutdown | Cincinnati News

Madison Road’s floodgate is shutting down Tuesday from 9 AM to 3 PM—blocking traffic both ways—due to a mechanical failure that prevented it from automatically sealing during a July storm. Built in 2008 and handed over to the city in 2012, the gate has had known issues, and a 2020 study recommended replacement—but that’s too costly and complex. The malfunction hit homes and businesses near Duck Creek and the bridge, with officials assessing damage and reaching out to affected residents. While the gate’s failure worsened local flooding, heavy rainfall would’ve caused problems regardless. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
