I’d suggest an extra hour if you need to travel westbound on I-74 @FOX19 pic.twitter.com/XTzjhmm231

If you’re on 74WB, plenty of vehicles are getting off at 128 to avoid sitting in traffic. @FOX19 pic.twitter.com/0VZmtBf6KK

Detour by taking:

Eastbound I-275 to Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway to Colerain Avenue to return to I-74
Northbound Ohio 128 to westbound Harrison Avenue to return to I-74

In other slow spots on your morning commute, accidents have been reported on northbound I-71 just past Ronald Reagan Highway and westbound Columbia Parkway at William Howard Taft Road
