An electrical issue caused the shutdown, city officials said via the social media platform, and officials with Duke informed city officials Wednesday afternoon that the state route would be closed several hours.
Just after 8 p.m., Duke officials said electric service to the affected area of Springboro would be restored within 2 hours.
City officials are asking drivers to continue to avoid the area until Thursday morning.
We will update this report as information becomes available.
