I-74/I-75 interchange, are lawmakers good drivers, today's top stories | Daily Briefing

Hey there! I’m Erin Couch, a breaking news reporter for The Enquirer.

Today, we launched our new series, Just Askin’, in which readers give us their unGoogleable questions about Cincinnati.

I wrote our first installment that focuses on the I-74/I-75 interchange over Northside. Why have those orange barrels been there for so long? What are construction crews working toward, exactly?

We also looked at the rest of the I-75 stretch up to Mitchell Avenue, which still won't be finished for another whopping four years.
