I-75 S. traffic through Cincy. How bad does it suck?

8UP · 10-10-2015, 12:28 PM

Weekdays around 7ish pulling a trailer. Is there much construction now, and am I going through at the worst possible time? Is there "window" when things clear up for a while? There have been times when I've sailed right through and other times when it's been a parking lot for no apparent reason.

Evenings, most of the traffic will be northbound.

There's still a lot of work going on, but if you stay out of rush hour, you should be okay.

Check google maps for traffic and drive times to see how bad it is, and when.

My bad, shoulda said it was 7 am, not evening. So yep, I'll be hitting rush hour. What time does it seem to clear out?

Sorry, I've been working nights for more than 25 years, so my clock only has one seven on it.

But you could plug it into google a couple-few times a morning and see...

I'll give that a try, thanks.
