'''Interstate&nbsp;71''' ('''I-71''') is a north–south [[Interstate Highway]] in the [[midwestern]] and [[Southeastern United States|southeastern]] regions of the United States. Its southern terminus is at an interchange with [[Interstate 64|I-64]] and [[Interstate 65|I-65]] (the [[Kennedy Interchange]]) in [[Louisville, Kentucky]], and its northern terminus at an interchange with [[Interstate 90|I-90]] in [[Cleveland, Ohio]]. I-71 runs concurrently with [[Interstate 75|I-75]] from a point about {{convert|20|mi|km}} south of [[Cincinnati, Ohio]], into [[Downtown Cincinnati]]. While most odd numbered Interstates run north–south, I-71 takes more of a northeast–southwest course, with some east–west sections, and is mainly a regional route serving [[Kentucky]] and [[Ohio]]. It links [[Interstate 80|I-80]] and I-90 to [[Interstate 70|I-70]]. Major metropolitan areas served by I-71 include [[Louisville metropolitan area|Louisville]], [[Cincinnati metropolitan area|Cincinnati]], [[Columbus metropolitan area, Ohio|Columbus]], and [[Greater Cleveland|Cleveland]].

Approximately three-quarters of the route lies east of I-75, leaving I-71 out of place in the Interstate grid.

[[File:I-71 I-75 Cincinnati.jpg|thumb|I-71 (and I-75) heading northbound into Cincinnati, Ohio, from Kentucky]]
In [[Kentucky]], I-71 begins east of [[Downtown Louisville]] at the [[Kennedy Interchange]], where it meets I-64 and I-65. This interchange is sometimes called the "[[Spaghetti Junction]]". From Louisville, it roughly follows the [[Ohio River]] in a diagonal path toward Northern Kentucky. Between Louisville and Cincinnati, I-71 is largely a four-lane highway, except for the approach to [[Kentucky Speedway]] in [[Sparta, Kentucky|Sparta]] in which it runs three lanes each way for about {{Convert|2|mi|km|spell=in}}.

Near the town of [[Carrollton, Kentucky|Carrollton]], there are signs marking the location of a [[Carrollton bus collision|tragic accident that occurred on May 14, 1988]], when a drunk driver was driving north in the southbound lanes and struck a church bus full of children and teenagers, causing the bus's fuel tank to ignite into flames and killing 27&nbsp;people on board. It is one of the worst bus accidents in state and national history.

After having run {{convert|77|mi|km}} from Louisville, I-71 merges with [[Interstate 75 in Kentucky|I-75]] near [[Walton, Kentucky|Walton]] after which it intersects [[Interstate 275 (Ohio–Indiana–Kentucky)|I-275]], the Cincinnati [[beltway]]. After passing through [[Covington, Kentucky|Covington]], the freeway crosses the [[Ohio River]] via the lower level of the [[Brent Spence Bridge]] (while the southbound direction uses the upper level) and continues into Cincinnati.

===Ohio===
[[File:I-71SofCbus.JPG|thumb|right|Heading northbound into Columbus, Ohio]]
[[File:Interstate 71 Cleveland 2016.jpg|thumb|right|Northern terminus at I-90 in Downtown Cleveland, Ohio]]
In [[Cincinnati]], it splits immediately from I-75 and heads due east onto [[Fort Washington Way]], where it continues through Downtown Cincinnati [[Concurrency (road)|concurrently]] with [[U.S. Route 50 in Ohio|U.S. Route&nbsp;50]] (US&nbsp;50) for less than {{Convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}}. Just east of downtown, US&nbsp;50 splits from I-71 and continues east; I-71 bends north and receives [[I-471]], a spur from southeast of the city. I-71 then heads in a general northeast direction through the [[Lytle Tunnel]] and urban Cincinnati and into its surrounding suburbs. After another interchange with the [[Interstate 275 (Ohio–Indiana–Kentucky)|I-275]] beltway, the freeway leaves the metropolitan area and heads toward [[Columbus, Ohio|Columbus]]. It continues northeast until it reaches [[South Lebanon, Ohio|South Lebanon]], where it begins cutting east across the flat plains of southwest Ohio. The freeway crosses the [[Little Miami River]] on the [[Jeremiah Morrow Bridge]], which is a concrete [[box girder bridge]] and the tallest bridge in Ohio, at {{Convert|239|ft|m}} above the river. I-71 heads toward Columbus then intersects with the bypass [[Interstate 270 (Ohio)|I-270]] before heading north into urban Columbus, where it intersects with [[Interstate 70 in Ohio|I-70]]. About {{One2a|{{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}}}} north of the I-70 junction, it intersects with [[Interstate 670 (Ohio)|I-670]]. After another interchange with the I-270 bypass, the highway exits Columbus and continues north until near [[Delaware, Ohio|Delaware]], where it again turns northeast. Beginning its path to [[Cleveland]], I-71 enters the rolling farm country on the edges of the [[Allegheny Plateau]]. It continues in this fashion to [[Lodi, Ohio|Lodi]]–[[Westfield Center]] and its junction with [[Interstate 76 in Ohio|I-76]], which provides access to [[Akron]] and points east. Heading north to [[Medina, Ohio|Medina]], it meets the terminus of [[I-271]]. The highway then continues north into urban [[Cuyahoga County]] and Cleveland's suburbs, intersecting the [[Ohio Turnpike]]/[[Interstate 80 in Ohio|I-80]]. Passing [[Cleveland Hopkins International Airport]], I-71 meets [[Interstate 480 (Ohio)|I-480]] and enters Cleveland's west side, continuing on to downtown. It junctions with [[Ohio State Route 176|State Route&nbsp;176]] (SR&nbsp;176) and terminates at [[Interstate 90 in Ohio|I-90]] on the [[Innerbelt]].

===Kentucky===
The first section of I-71 in Louisville opened in December 1966 between its terminus at Spaghetti Junction and Zorn Avenue, its first exit. Its junction with [[Interstate 264 (Kentucky)|I-264]] opened in July 1968, and the complete Kentucky portion of the Interstate was opened to the public in July 1969. At that point, it replaced [[U.S. Route 42|US&nbsp;42]] as the primary link between Cincinnati and Louisville.<ref>{{cite book |editor-last = Kleber |editor-first = John E. |year = 2001 |chapter = Interstates and Expressways |title = Encyclopedia of Louisville |location = Lexington |publisher = [[University Press of Kentucky]] |pages = 417–418 |chapter-url = https://books.google.com/books?id=pXbYITw4ZesC&q=%22Interstate%2064%22&pg=PA418 |isbn = 0813128900 |access-date = October 18, 2020 |archive-date = January 28, 2024 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240128012704/https://books.google.com/books?id=pXbYITw4ZesC&q=%22Interstate%2064%22&pg=PA418#v=snippet&q=%22Interstate%2064%22&f=false |url-status = live }}</ref>

===Ohio===
{{See also|Ohio State Route 1 (1961–1965)}}
Much of I-71 in Ohio was intended to be [[Ohio State Route 1|SR&nbsp;1]]. SR&nbsp;1 was originally planned in the 1950s as a second [[Ohio Turnpike]] extending southwest to northeast across the state. It was planned to run from Cincinnati to [[Conneaut, Ohio|Conneaut]] and connect with an extension built across the panhandle of [[Pennsylvania]] to the [[New York State Thruway]]. As the highway was being planned, the [[Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956]] was enacted, and the project was converted from a toll road to a freeway. It was designated as SR&nbsp;1, since the Interstate Highway numbering system had not yet been implemented. Portions of the freeway began to be completed and opened in 1959 with the new Interstate Highway funding, and they were marked as SR&nbsp;1 as well as with their new Interstate Highway number. Since large gaps existed along the corridor where no freeway had yet been completed, existing two-lane or four-lane highways were also designated as SR&nbsp;1 in order to complete the route. The SR&nbsp;1 signage was removed in 1966 as the Interstate Highway numbers adequately marked the route by then and the state highway numbering was superfluous.

[[File:Sohio columbus i71-1.JPG|thumb|upright=0.549|Columbus-area highway marker designating I-71 and SR&nbsp;1 (1965)]]
In Columbus, the portion of I-71 that bounds Worthington's eastern edge was originally called the North Freeway. Costing $13.8&nbsp;million (equivalent to ${{Formatprice|{{Inflation|US-GDP|13800000|1962}}}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US-GDP}}{{Inflation/fn|index=US-GDP}}), it was constructed south from [[Ohio State Route 161|SR&nbsp;161]], arriving at 11th Avenue by August 1961. It took another year to construct the portion between 11th and 5th avenues, mainly due to the need to construct a massive underpass under the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]]'s Grogan Yard. Today, only two tracks cross the viaduct, and the rest of the structure supports a large, weedy field. By August 1962, the freeway had reached Fifth Avenue, and it reached downtown in November 1962.

I-71 was originally planned to follow the Innerbelt Freeway northward from its current northern terminus to the [[Cleveland Memorial Shoreway]] at [[Dead Man's Curve]] when I-90 was planned to continue westward from there along the Shoreway.<ref>{{cite report |author = Ohio Department of Highways |author-link = Ohio Department of Highways |url = http://www.roadfan.com/clevmap.html |title = 1957–1958 Biennial Report |type = Excerpt |publisher = Ohio Department of Highways |access-date = February 27, 2013 |via = Roadfan.com |archive-date = September 24, 2015 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150924091534/http://www.roadfan.com/clevmap.html |url-status = live }}</ref>

Upon its completion, I-71 replaced [[Ohio State Route 3|SR&nbsp;3]] as the primary highway link between Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland.

For more than 30 years {{as of|2025|lc=y}}, there has been discussion about building an interchange at Boston Road on the border of [[Brunswick, Ohio|Brunswick]] in [[Medina County, Ohio|Medina County]] and [[Strongsville, Ohio|Strongsville]] in [[Cuyahoga County, Ohio|Cuyahoga County]] between the [[Ohio State Route 303|SR&nbsp;303]] and [[Ohio State Route 82|SR&nbsp;82]] interchanges.<ref>{{cite news|first=Rich|last=Exner|title=New interchange or not?

Between 2004 and 2006, the interchange at milepost&nbsp;121 in the far northern reaches of Columbus was reconstructed to allow access to the eastern extension of Gemini Place.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=1447.0 |title = Ohio Fuses Two Interchanges in Columbus |author = urbanohio.com |access-date = June 14, 2015 |archive-date = June 15, 2015 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150615140736/http://urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=1447.0 |url-status = live }}{{sps|certain=yes|date=June 2022}}</ref> Before that, it was a simple [[diamond interchange]] with [[Ohio State Route 750|SR&nbsp;750]] (Polaris Parkway).

===Rebuilding and widening program===
In 1999, the state of Ohio began a 10-year, $500-million (equivalent to ${{Formatprice|{{Inflation|US-GDP|500000000|1999}}}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US-GDP}}{{Inflation/fn|index=US-GDP}}) project to improve I-71 between Columbus and Cleveland. The plans did not include widening the {{Convert|25|mi|km|adj=on}} stretch in [[Delaware County, Ohio|Delaware]] and [[Morrow County, Ohio|Morrow]] counties, calling for patching that section instead. At that time, state transportation officials said they did not plan to widen that section for two reasons: traffic studies did not support the widening and there was no money for the project.<ref>{{cite news |last=Ferenchik |first=Mark |date=February 26, 2013 |title=3rd lane coming to I-71 by 2015 |url=http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2013/02/25/ODOT-plans-to-widen-last-25-mile-stretchof-I-71-from-Columbus-to-Cleveland.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141007122536/http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2013/02/25/ODOT-plans-to-widen-last-25-mile-stretchof-I-71-from-Columbus-to-Cleveland.html |archive-date=October 7, 2014 |access-date=October 4, 2014 |work=[[The Columbus Dispatch]]}}</ref> But [[Ohio Department of Transportation]] (ODOT) officials eventually gave in under pressure from elected officials and business owners to widen the remaining {{Convert|25|mi|km|adj=on}} stretch of I-71 from just north of the [[U.S. Route 36 in Ohio|US&nbsp;36]]/[[Ohio State Route 37|SR&nbsp;37]] interchange in Delaware County to the Morrow–[[Richland County, Ohio|Richland]] county line.<ref name="I-71widening">{{Cite news |last=Hill |first=Todd |date=October 13, 2014 |title=I-71 widening almost finished |url=https://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com/story/news/local/2014/10/13/widening-almost-finished/17218447/ |access-date=June 19, 2015 |work=[[Mansfield News Journal]] |archive-date=June 20, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150620065440/http://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com/story/news/local/2014/10/13/widening-almost-finished/17218447/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The reconstruction and widening on the last {{Convert|25|mi|km|adj=on}} stretch of I-71 in Delaware and Morrow counties began in early 2012, and the work was completed in mid-2015 at a cost of $144&nbsp;million (equivalent to ${{Formatprice|{{Inflation|US-GDP|144000000|2015}}}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US-GDP}}{{Inflation/fn|index=US-GDP}}).<ref name=I-71widening/>

==Auxiliary routes==
I-71 has two auxiliary routes in [[Greater Cleveland]] and the [[Cincinnati metropolitan area]]. [[Interstate 471|I-471]] links Downtown Cincinnati with [[Interstate 275 (Ohio–Indiana–Kentucky)|I-275]]. [[Interstate 271|I-271]] provides access to Cleveland's eastern suburbs and enables travelers on I-71 to access I-90 east without going through Cleveland proper.
