CINCINNATI – Once Duke Energy crews wrapped up work, police reopened Beechmont Avenue at 8:15 p.m. Sunday following an early-morning landslide caused by the weekend’s heavy rains.
After clearing the road and maintaining the hillside, Duke said its crews had to remove a utility pole and install a new one. The road had been closed since about 7:30 a.m.
Police said they will continue to monitor the condition of the hillside.

Elsewhere, fallen trees blocked two roads in Miami Township (Clermont County) and in other parts of the Tri-State.
The Anderson Ferry had to close because of debris in the river.
