Both directions of I-71 are shut down in Gallatin County.
A multi-vehicle crash shut down I-71 northbound near the 63 mile marker. The southbound lanes are also shut down due to multiple semis being unable to navigate road conditions in the area.
Gov. Andy Beshear said the Kentucky National Guard was on scene.
Police have not said exactly how many vehicles are involved in the crash or if anyone is injured.
Multiple semi-trucks are having trouble making it up the hill on the interstate, which is halting traffic.
Police are assisting stranded motorists as vehicles blocking the road are being removed.
Northbound traffic is being diverted off of I-71 at the Glencoe exit (Exit 62) onto US-127.
