GRANT COUNTY, Ky. — Two separate crashes blocked highways in Northern Kentucky Tuesday morning, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
KYTC said the northbound lanes of I-71 and the northbound lanes of I-75 were both closed south of the I-71/I-75 split in Kentucky.
The northbound lanes of I-71 were closed near the Carroll County and Gallatin County line; KYTC said tow trucks worked to help with a jackknifed commercial vehicle on the highway.
That closure lasted over an hour, KYTC said.
The northbound lanes of I-75 in Grant County, north of Dry Ridge, were also closed for a crash, according to KYTC.
KYTC said the northbound lanes of the highway were "expected to be blocked for several hours," in a 7:12 a.m. update. By 10 a.m., the highway appeared to be clear.
That crash was around four miles north of the Dry Ridge exit; KYTC crews had to bring salt trucks to the scene to clear the road near the crash, the agency said.
Drivers were told to detour via Dixie Highway.
Officials have not said whether anyone was hurt in the crashes.
The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory Tuesday morning, Tuesday morning that expired at 9 a.m., for light snow that fell overnight. Some roadways became coated in snow, creating slick spots.
