Construction resumes this week after Thanksgiving holiday

Construction on the Cincinnati Streetcar resumes this week after the Thanksgiving holiday.  In addition to installing track on Main and Walnut near the Banks this week, crews will continue installation of overhead brackets and arms on OCS poles which will ultimately hold the overhead wire that will power the streetcar.  

Duke crews continue work on electrical manholes in Main Street, and sitework at the Maintenance and Operations Facility is also continuing this week.
