CINCINNATI — All northbound lanes of I-75 have reopened hours after after a tractor-trailer hit an overpass causing shut downs.
The crash happened near the Western Hills Viaduct around 11:30 a.m., and police said it has reduced traffic down to only the right lane.
It's currently unclear what caused the tractor-trailer to hit the overpass, but the driver does have serious injuries.
While the tractor-trailer did hit the overpass, the Cincinnati Fire Department is saying the bridge is safe.

The backups in the northbound lanes began just after all southbound lanes of I-75 near Ezzard Charles were reopened. Those lanes had been closed for more than five hours after a pedestrian was struck and killed early Wednesday morning in the area.
