CINCINNATI — For multiple hours there was a major backup along northbound I-71 near Kenwood, the Ohio Department of Transportation said.
Hamilton County dispatch said there were multiple small crashes along the roadway in the area, which caused traffic to be at almost a standstill. The conditions in the area include a steep grade, adding to the challenge of navigating the slick conditions in the area.
The road was backed up for at least 3 hours, and it spanned several miles, down past the SR-562 exit.
Hamilton County is under a Level 2 snow emergency, meaning drivers should only travel if it's absolutely necessary due to deteriorating conditions on the roads.
