Hi all! Carla Varner here with your Monday edition of the Cincinnati Daily, filled with all the things you need to know about what's happening in town. Here we go...

First, today's weather:

Humid with clouds and sun. High: 86 Low: 69.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Cincinnati who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Cincinnati Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Cincinnati today:

  1. Plan ahead for your morning commute: the Roebling Suspension Bridge will begin intermittent closures this morning due to a scheduled inspection. Inspectors will be on site today through Friday from 8 a.m. through 5 p.m., with the inspection scheduled to be completed by Aug. 10. Drivers are urged to watch for crews, equipment, and closure-related signage. (WHIO)
  2. A Cincinnati native is looking for love on reality TV. 25-year-old Jeff Christian Jr. recently joined the fourth season of Love Island USA, currently airing on Peacock. Christian comes from a family of athletes and previously played college football at Ohio University, as well as at Southern University and A&M College. (The Cincinnati Enquirer)
  3. On Saturday morning, a driver died after flipping over a bridge downtown. The incident took place around 3 a.m. at the 5.3 mile marker of I-471 south. As of Sunday evening, the Cincinnati Police Department has not released the driver's name as authorities notify the family. Investigators reported speed appears to be a factor in the crash; they are still determining whether impairment played a role. (WCPO 9 Cincinnati)
