U.S. 52 to close near Moscow Friday for utility work

MOSCOW, Ohio — U.S. Route 52 will close for about five hours Friday just north of the village of Moscow so Duke Energy crews can complete utility work, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

The closure covers U.S. 52 between State Route 232 and Laurel Moscow Road from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 30, ODOT’s Cincinnati district office said. Motorists will be detoured via state routes 232, 756 and 743.

ODOT asked drivers to plan ahead and allow extra travel time for the detour, noting the schedule depends on weather. Monroe Township shared the advisory with residents this week.
