How Covington is dealing with Ohio River's rising floodwaters
The city of Covington installed the Madison Avenue floodwall gate Monday morning just to the west of the Roebling Suspension Bridge. It was designed after the Great Flood of 1937 and takes a crew of 15 workers about 10 hours to install. Rick Davis, Covington's public works director, said it can be cumbersome using "1940s technology," but it works. "It will keep the water out and keep our businesses safe and keep our residents safe," he said. Nearby, along a historic stretch of Riverside Drive, someone left a backhoe parked while the river rose. It was mired in muck, so a tow truck had to haul it out. Riverside Drive will be closed until water recedes. Across the Licking River, in Newport, the Belle of Cincinnati moved across the Ohio to Cincinnati's Public Landing. The riverboat will be at its temporary mooring until the Ohio crests and begins falling, expected later this week.
