I 75 Bridge over Ohio river CLOSED
Due to a multiple truck crash this morning before dawn, the bridge is totally closed BOTH directions. (North bound is the lower level South bound is the upper level)
Crash spilled 400 gallons of fuel and one of the truck was carrying hazardess material which was flamable.
Heavy damage due to the fire, estimated at in excess of 1500 degrees.
Authorities still have not be able to inspect all of the bridge.
Interstate traffic is being routed via I 275 around the city. Traffic on I 275 is slow going now as a result.
NO estimate of how long, likely months. The bridge needs replacement and has been on a list for that for several years now. The 2 states can not agree how to accomplish that, nor do they want to pay for it.
