GRANT COUNTY, Ky. — Two separate crashes have highways in Northern Kentucky blocked Tuesday morning, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
KYTC said the northbound lanes of I-71 and the northbound lanes of I-75 are both closed south of the I-71/I-75 split in Kentucky.
The northbound lanes of I-71 are closed near the Carroll County and Gallatin County line; KYTC said tow trucks are currently working to help with a jackknifed commercial vehicle on the highway.
The northbound lanes will be blocked for the next hour, KYTC said.
The northbound lanes of I-75 in Grant County, north of Dry Ridge, are also closed for a crash, according to KYTC.
KYTC said the northbound lanes of the highway are "expected to be blocked for several hours," in a 7:12 a.m. update.
The crash is around four miles north of the Dry Ridge exit; KYTC crews are working to get salt trucks to the scene to clear the road near the crash, the agency said.
Drivers should detour via Dixie Highway, but KYTC said delays should still be expected on the detour route.
Officials have not said whether anyone was hurt in the crash.
The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory Tuesday morning, until 9 a.m. for light snow that fell overnight. Some roadways became coated in snow, creating slick spots early Tuesday morning.
