Interstate 74 (I-74) in the U.S. state of Ohio runs for 19.47 miles (31.33 km) southeast from the Indiana border to the western segment's current eastern terminus at Interstate 75 just north of downtown Cincinnati. It is also signed with U.S. Route 52 for its entire length.
Route description
The Ohio portion of Interstate 74 begins on the Indiana border near Harrison, Ohio and travels due east. Shortly into Ohio, the interstate intersects with Interstate 275 and overlaps with I-275 for approximately 4 miles. The interstate continues for approximately 10 more miles before reaching its eastern terminus at the intersection with Interstate 75.
Future
Long term plans call for Interstate 74 to be continued through Ohio and into West Virginia, concurrent with Interstate 73; with both of these roads continuing through Virginia and North Carolina to end in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Due to funding concerns, there are no concrete plans for this to occur.
Exit list
The entire route is in Hamilton County.
