After a quick Thanksgiving break, construction of Cincinnati's streetcar resumed last week, and crews began installing a new component.
Some of the brackets and arms that will hold the streetcar's overhead power wire have been installed. In addition, Duke Energy crews have been working on Main Street in manholes and work at the Maintenance and Operations Facility has continued.

Soon crews will divert their attention to the Maintenance and Operations Facility to give motorists a break during the holidays.
The streetcar project will run 3.6 miles around the urban core of Cincinnati and have 18 stops. It is expected to open in September 2016 and will cost the city an estimated $4 million to operate in its first year.
