I-75/I-275 INTERCHANGE SCOPING STUDY | AUGUST 2019
KYTC LAUNCHES STUDY TO IMPROVE THE
I-75/I-275 INTERCHANGE AREA

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is pleased to announce that we've launched a study to reduce congestion, improve travel safety and promote better connectivity in the vicinity of the I-75/I-275 interchange. Our goal is to identify planned improvements by early 2020. We don't know yet when construction would begin, but expect that improvements will be completed in phases, as funding allows.

As part of this study, we are conducting a public survey to find out more about how local drivers use the interchange and where they tend to experience problems. We will use the information gathered to help develop and evaluate improvement alternatives. Please help us by completing the survey, which can be accessed on the project’s newly launched website or through the button below.
ADDRESSING THE I-75/I-275 INTERCHANGE IS A HIGH PRIORITY
The I-75/I-275 interchange is critical to the flow of traffic throughout Northern Kentucky, and those who live and work nearby. Currently, it’s carrying more than twice the level of traffic it was originally designed to handle. That, coupled with traffic merging to and from Donaldson, Turfway, and Dixie Highway and other major roads, has resulted in increasing amounts of congestion and travel delays.

As Northern Kentucky continues to experience rapid growth, particularly within Boone County and in areas near the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport, we expect that problems will worsen unless improvements are made.
IMPROVEMENTS WILL LIKELY BE COMPLETED IN STAGES AND PHASED IN OVER TIME
We anticipate that the preferred improvement plan that comes from this study will be comprised of several short-term and long-term solutions. Improvements will most likely be phased in, though specific timing will not be known until construction funding has been secured.

Currently, we are reviewing existing technical data, conducting studies and gathering additional information that will be used to develop and evaluate improvement alternatives. Once concepts have been developed, we will share the alternatives with the public for review and consideration – likely later this summer. 
“It’s our job to make sure that our transportation system meets the needs of the population and the businesses located here. We see the problems near the interchange, hear the public’s concerns and are committed to making improvements.

Through this interchange study and the modifications that come from it, we will be better able to support our existing communities and the tremendous economic growth taking place, not to mention the hundreds of new jobs that growth is creating.”
