CINCINNATI — Traffic is slow for rush hour, as several crashes throughout the city cause traffic snarls on multiple highways in the Tri-State.

Currently, a crash on I-71N/US-50E downtown is causing backups throughout the 71/75 interchange north of the Brent Spence Bridge.

The northbound lanes of I-75 are slow from Clifton Avenue all the way to Evendale, though the Ohio Department of Transportation is not reporting any crashes along that stretch.

Traffic is also slow on I-275 near the I-471 exit and across the Combs-Hehl Bridge. There is also no crash reported in that area.

Earlier, a crash near the Jeremiah Morrow Bridge caused congestion in the northbound lanes of I-71 in that area, but that has since cleared up.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol said the crash, which happened north of the bridge, forced the highway to close. That closure has since been opened, but traffic backups persist.

Further south, a separate crash on the Norwood Lateral near Paddock Road caused a brief backup on I-71N. Police said the road was closed briefly for that crash as well, but it has since been reopened.
