MORGAN TOWNSHIP, BUTLER COUNTY, OH (FOX19) – Repeated bouts of torrential rain Tuesday afternoon and evening led to flooding early Wednesday in Morgan Township. 

Cincinnati-Brookville Road (SR 126) near Chapel Road was blocked by high water, as were other nearby roads.

In one instance, a police car responding to a burglary call had to call in officers from Hamilton County, since the road from inside the township were blocked.

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - After being closed more than eight days, a major road from Downtown into Price Hill should go back in service Saturday.

Elberon Avenue, between Mt. Hope and Purcell avenues, is expected to reopen to traffic after 1 p.m. Saturday.

About 600 loads of soil had to be removed from the site. For comparison, only 98 loads of soil were removed after the Jan. 9, 2012, landslide on Columbia Parkway. As of Friday afternoon, there was one large tree that still had to be removed. Crews will also install erosion control at the site.

This area of Elberon has a history of active slides, and a year of unusually heavy rain accelerated the hillside's movement. The road was closed last Friday after torrential rains the preceding day.
