CINCINNATI — Traffic along Fort Washington Way is moving slowly after a semi-truck caught fire early Friday morning.
The semi-truck was on fire in the westbound lanes of Fort Washington Way underneath the Walnut Street overpass.
Fire crews have since put out the flames, and it's unclear what caused the semi-truck to catch fire.

The fire has closed down the Cincinnati Bell Connector's route along Walnut Street.
This is also closing a portion of our route due to the response on Walnut Street (fire trucks and hoses). We are currently suspending service. Will update when we know more on how long the closure will last. @RoadmapCincy @CityOfCincy https://t.co/QNdbGVDYtm

It's also unclear how long it will take crews to clean up after the fire. Traffic is moving slowly with the snowy road conditions.
