Interstate 275 (I-275) is an 83.71-mile-long (134.72 km)[1] highway in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky that forms a complete beltway around the Cincinnati area, and includes a part in a state (Indiana) not entered by the parent route. It had been the only auxiliary interstate that enters three states, but that changed in July 2018 when I-295 in Delaware and New Jersey was extended into Pennsylvania. It is the longest beltway with an Interstate highway designation in the United States,[2] enclosing an area of over 250,000 acres (100,000 ha).[3] It is also the third longest beltway overall in the United States—only the Sam Houston Tollway and the Grand Parkway encircling Metro Houston are longer. For a short distance in northwest Hamilton County it overlaps with I-74 and U.S. Highway 52 (US 52).

I-275 is also known as the Cincinnati Bypass and officially known as the Donald H. Rolf Circle Freeway in Ohio, after a state senator,[4] but locals rarely use these names, instead simply referring to it as "two-seventy-five" or “the loop.” In 2011, Kentucky named its segment the Ronald Reagan Highway, not to be confused with Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway across the river in Cincinnati.[5] The section in Clermont County is also designated as the Staff Sergeant Matt Maupin Veterans Memorial Highway.

Route description

I-71/I-75 to Indiana

I-275 heads west toward Indiana passing by the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, with Kentucky Route 212 (KY 212) used as the service road to and from the airport. Then near Hebron, west of the airport, I-275 has an interchange with Kentucky Route 237 (KY 237), before passing over the Ohio River into Indiana.

Indiana

In Indiana I-275 passes through a rural area with only one interchange at US 50/State Road 1 (SR 1). I-275 heads northeast towards Ohio; at the Ohio state line I-275 passes over US 50.

Ohio

Along I-275 on its northeast side

I-275 heads northeast towards Springdale, and I-275 runs concurrently with I-74 and US 52. When the concurrency ends, I-275 has an intersection with Ohio State Route 126 (SR 126, Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway). Then I-275 has interchanges with US 27 and US 127. I-275 turns east having an interchange with SR 4, SR 747, I-75, and US 42. I-275 turns southeast having an interchange with I-71 and US 22/SR 3. I-275 passes over the Little Miami River, entering Clermont County, where it is officially named in honor of Matt Maupin, a local soldier killed during the Iraq War. I-275 turns due south toward Milford and connects with SR 28, SR 450, SR 32, and SR 125. I-275 turns due west towards Kentucky, passing through a short concurrency with US 52, before crossing over the Ohio River into Kentucky.

Ohio to I-71/I-75

From Ohio I-275 heads southwest towards Highland Heights. I-275 has an interchange with I-471 near Highland Heights. I-275 turns due west towards Crestview Hills, passing through an interchange with KY 9, KY 16, and KY 17. In Crestview Hills I-275 has an interchange with US 25/US 42/US 127. I-275 turns northeast towards I-71/I-75.

History

I-74/I-275 bridge accident

On May 20, 2008, a tractor-trailer hauling a locomotive separated while traveling on the ramp from westbound I-74 to southbound I-275. After the trailer detached, it crashed into supports for the bridge on I-74 eastbound going over the ramps between I-275 and I-74 westbound. As a result, the Ohio Department of Transportation shut down eastbound I-74 for several weeks.[6] Both ramps between I-74 west and I-275 were closed as well, because of fears the bridge would collapse, but two crossovers were built so that traffic could use one lane of westbound I-74 to travel east around the damaged bridge.[7]
