LOVELAND, Ohio — A major road in Loveland has been reopened after a gas leak shut down the area for several hours.
The leak was reported Monday morning around 10 a.m. when Loveland Symmes Fire Department posted to its Facebook page to avoid the area of Loveland Madeira Road at East Kemper Road.
The fire department later said that all businesses south of Cottonwood Drive on Loveland Madeira Road to I-275 were shut down until further notice.
"Loveland Madeira Rd. corridor will be shut down for an extended period of time due to a gas leak," the fire department said.
The fire department said Duke Energy arrived on site to fix the leak. Duke said a contractor of theirs hit a gas line. The company shut off the gas in the area and said there is no danger to the public.
In an update posted around 8:30 p.m. Monday, the city said Loveland Madeira Road at East Kemper Road has been reopened. The city previously said East Kemper Road will remain closed from Loveland Madeira Road to the railroad tracks through Wednesday, Nov. 13.
