Construction work has begun on Harrison Avenue and will continue into the spring according to Safety-Service Director Steve Neal. Duke Energy has started the replacement of a gas main from the Green Township border and moving east. Work will continue through the winter and traffic will be maintained during their work. Because of metal plates used to cover the roadway during the construction, the Public Works Department will not be able to plow sections of Harrison. Steve says that they will have to just salt heavily in those areas. Once Duke Energy is finished in early spring, Greater Cincinnati Water Works will be in to replace a water main along the same section of Harrison. Phase 1 of the Harrison Avenue Reconstruction Project is expected to begin around the same time.
