The highway is blocked approximately 0.7 miles north of the Brent Spence Bridge on I-75 in Ohio due to high water. Crews are responding. Dispatch confirms that motorists are able to use the Brent Spence Bridge to I-71 (Fort Washington Way) to avoid the closure; however, traffic is backing up on to I-71/75 in Kenton County.

Avoid the area and seek alternate routes.
