Safety Zone Established for Power Line Work on Ohio River Near North Bend, OH

The Coast Guard has created a temporary safety zone in the Ohio River near North Bend, Ohio. This area covers all navigable waters from mile marker 490 to mile marker 500. The restriction is in place because Duke Energy will be replacing power lines over the water during this period.

Why it matters: This is a standard administrative action to keep boaters safe while heavy machinery and construction activities happen overhead. It prevents collisions with equipment and protects workers in the water from vessel traffic. The impact is limited to a specific stretch of river for one week.

Who it affects

• Boaters and recreational vessels operating on the Ohio River between mile markers 490 and 500 near North Bend, OH.
