A crash early Tuesday forced officials to shut down all northbound lanes of Interstate 75 in Grant County, leading to significant traffic disruptions.

According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the incident occurred near the 162-mile marker, roughly four miles north of the Dry Ridge exit.

Emergency crews responded to the scene and planned to deploy salt trucks to assist in clearing the roadway. Officials warned that the interstate could remain closed for several hours.

Drivers are being redirected to U.S. Route 25 (Dixie Highway), though authorities expect delays along the detour.

Officials have not yet released information about the cause of the crash, how many vehicles were involved, or whether anyone was injured.
