Semi crash closed major bridge




quote:

Cincinnati Police Department @CincyPD Major traffic impacts this morning due to an accident/hazmat incident on the northbound (lower deck) of the I-75, Brent Spence Bridge, entering @CityOfCincy. Expect lengthy delays & detours as I-75 north & southbound will be closed for an undetermined amount of time.

The main bridge that travels north and south bound into and out of Cincinnati is closed due to 2 semis collided and caught on fire. The bridge was already in despair and needed work done, but now it has been compromised due to the accident and is not safe to travel on.

If anyone is planning to travel on this route...Don’t! I would imagine I 75/71 is backed up in both directions up to 20 miles. It will be a cluster frick diverting that traffic in to I 275.

So glad I read the sign overhead saying it was closed down this morning. Got through 275 and 471 before it became a cluster.

Glad you got through. I would imagine 275 and 471 is back up in a jam.

We got hit by a semi (thankfully not going very fast as we were in heavier traffic) in almost that same area this time last year. Sounds about right.

Yep, very dangerous. The portion of I 75/71 ranks as the worst top 10 traffic in the nation.
