Police: Oil leak closes portion of West Mitchell Ave; Ramps to I-75 reopened
We are leaving the way with that breaking news, learning more about *** road closure that we've been telling you about through the morning. Cincinnati police say *** portion of West Mitchell near 75 will stay closed until around 10 30 this morning W T News. Lacy Roberts is live near that intersection of Spring Grove and West Mitchell Lay. Take us through what caused all of this. Yes, good morning to you. Both. Cinti police are telling us that *** truck leaked oil at some point overnight, which has led to these cleanup efforts here on West Mitchell. This is between Canard Avenue and Kesler Avenue. If you're familiar with the Mitchell Avenue, this is right where that White House lump Popeye's is right. You get to this overpass where you can go in 75 north and south, right down there to Spring Grove on that end by the mcdonald's is where these roads are. So if you're going to take 75 or have to go on this overpass, you're going to have to find an alternate route. If you usually take 75 south and get off at this exit and try and turn left you cannot do so. So again, like Steven did say these will be closed for *** couple of hours. We're just now starting to see some workers come out here and assess. So hopefully we'll get an update on when this will open. But of course, we'll let you know Lacy Roberts wt News.
