I-71 Reopens After Flooding Shutdown | Cincinnati News
Description
Flooding slammed Interstate 71 Friday night, shutting down major lanes near Robertson and Ridge Avenues during rush hour—trapping cars and sending commuters scrambling for detours. Authorities closed the stretch for hours to clear water and rescue stranded drivers, disrupting thousands as rain turned roads into rivers. The chaos rippled through Oakley, Madisonville, and Pleasant Ridge, reminding everyone how fast weather can crash our routines. But crews worked through the night—by Friday evening, lanes reopened, traffic flowed again, and relief returned to the roads.
