BATAVIA TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Herold Road will close to through traffic for two days next month while Duke Energy crews replace utility poles along the road, the Clermont County Engineer’s Office said.
The closure covers a stretch of Herold Road about 1,000 feet north of state Route 32, according to the engineer’s office. The road will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 15 and again on Sept. 16.
Duke Energy will use the closures to install two new utility poles and remove an existing pole along Herold Road, the engineer’s office said in a Facebook post. A posted detour will route traffic around the closed section during work hours both days, the office said.
The Clermont County Engineer’s Office, led by County Engineer Jeremy Evans, maintains roughly 385 miles of county and township roads and bridges, according to the office. Its duties include reviewing and coordinating utility work such as Duke Energy’s pole replacement along with road maintenance, bridge repair and traffic sign upkeep across the county.
The engineer’s office encouraged drivers to use alternate routes and allow extra travel time while the work is underway.
