CINCINNATI — The northbound lanes of I-71 have reopened at Ronald Reagan after a semi truck overturned onto its side on the highway.
The northbound lanes were closed for hours Thursday morning.
The crash is between Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway and I-275; the northbound lanes are closed for the entire stretch between I-275 and Ronald Reagan.
The closure is causing significant traffic backups stretching south of Kenwood. The Ohio Department of Transportation estimates traffic delays are around 60 minutes.
Sycamore Community Schools told its students and parents that buses were running late as a result of the "gridlock" caused by the crash.
Officials have not said whether anyone was hurt in the crash, not provided an estimated time when it would be cleared.
