The Mill Creek Expressway or '''Millcreek Expressway''' is a Freeway in Cincinnati and neighboring Hamilton County, Ohio , United States . It carries Interstate 75 through the Mill Creek valley, from the Brent Spence Bridge north to the Butler County line just north of Interstate 275 . DESCRIPTION HISTORY The Mill Creek Expressway generally follows the old Miami And Erie Canal , which extended from Cincinnati to Toledo via Dayton , itself built in the Mill Creek valley near Cincinnati. The canal extended from the Ohio River along the present locations of Eggleston Avenue and Central Parkway to Mt. Storm Park , and continued north, remaining close to the Mill Creek Expressway to Butler County. The never-opened Cincinnati Subway was built in the 1920s, mostly using the abandoned canal right-of-way from downtown to the State Route 562 interchange at St. Bernard . The first portion of the expressway was built in 1941 - during World War II - to serve the Wright Aeronautical plant in Lockland . It was initially planned to run from Paddock Road ( State Route 4 ) in Carthage north to Cincinnati-Dayton Road (then U.S. Route 25 ) near Maud , Zanesville Signal , January 30 , 1941 but was only built - almost completely along the old canal - between Galbraith Road and Glendale-Milford Road (then State Route 126 . A short extension was built south to Towne Street in Elmwood Place in the late 1940s. EXIT LIST REFERENCES |
