All through northbound trucks and RVs must use I-275

This 84-mile circumferential bypass of Cincinnati traverses three states -- Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. It offers interchanges with all major routes which enter the greater Cincinnati area, including I-71, I-74 and I-75, and US 25, 27, 42, 50, 52 and 127. Since through trucks and RVs are prohibited on I-71 and I-75 northbound through northern Kentucky into Cincinnati, and also prohibited on I-471, I-275 is the route which through trucks and RVs must use. In Kentucky, I-275 is signed as an east-west route and it links the rural sections of western Boone County with the shopping area of Kenton County, and the urbanized area of Campbell County. It provides interchanges with all major routes leading into the area.
