Coast Guard closes part of Ohio River for security
What happened
The US Coast Guard is temporarily closing a section of the Ohio River in Cincinnati. No boats can enter, cross, or anchor in the zone without special permission during a VIP visit.
Why it matters
This is a standard security measure for high-profile visits. It does not change how the Coast Guard operates or how river traffic is managed in the long term. It is a temporary inconvenience for local boaters and commercial traffic.
The signal
The security zone will lift once the VIP visit concludes, and river traffic will return to normal.
