The southbound lanes of I-71 have been backed up for hours due to a cluster of semi-trucks stuck in the snow and ice at the on-ramp to the Brent Spence Bridge.

The backup first began around 3:15 p.m. along Fort Washington Way in downtown Cincinnati, eventually stretching the length of the thoroughfare into the Lytle Tunnel.

As the semis remained stuck in the snow, some drivers diverted around it, but the backup continued along I-71 South up the lanes to the Hard Rock Casino area near the Gilbert Avenue exit.

Traffic cameras captured dozens of tail lights due to the bumper-to-bumper backup.
