Here are the top three stories today in Cincinnati:

  1. The Roebling Bridge is set to reopen Friday after being closed for more than a year. The 155-year old iconic bridge, which spans the Ohio River, has been closed to traffic since Feb. 15. After the bridge opens, work will continue until the project is completed. (WCPO 9 Cincinnati)
  2. Cincinnati MLS will adopt a new software platform developed by New York City-based Perchwell to assist in managing the red hot housing market. The new software includes a suite of data management, market research, and analytics designed to help realtors better serve their clients and build their businesses. (The Business Journals)
  3. The business owners of Dive Bar in Corryville, Babe's Cafe in Westwood, and the BP gas station on Glenway could lose their liquor licenses after numerous run-ins with the police. The public safety and governance committee heard cases on Tuesday against the three Cincinnati establishments, primarily regarding the constant calls to police for crime-related services. Police testified that the businesses have become a "drain" on their resources. (WCPO 9 Cincinnati)
