Fort Washington Way

Fort Washington Way

Fort Washington Way is a one-mile section of freeway in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. Running east-west in a trench, it carries Interstate 71 and US-50, first built between 1958 and 1961.

Its western terminus is with Interstate 75. At this location, Interstate 71 is multiplexed with Interstate 75 and turns south, crossing the Ohio River on the Brent Spence Bridge. US-50 continues westbound as the Sixth Street Expressway and then as River Road.

Fort Washington Way's eastern terminus is at the Lytle Tunnel, where Interstate 71 turns north. US-50 continues east across the Third Street Viaduct onto Columbia Parkway.

Much of Cincinnati's historic riverfront below Third Street, was cleared in the late 1950s for the construction of Fort Washington Way.
