Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway, formerly and locally known as Cross County Highway,[3] is a west-east freeway in Hamilton County, Ohio, United States. It stretches 16.4 miles (26.4 km) from southern Colerain Township to Montgomery, connecting many of Cincinnati's northern suburbs to Interstate 71 and Interstate 75.[2] State Route 126 is routed over most of the highway, while the remainder is a county-maintained road.[4]

Cross County Highway was built by Hamilton County in seven stages from 1958 to 1997,[1] costing $144 million.[5] Highway revolts in Indian Hill and Crosby Township prevented it from crossing the entire county.[6][7] On March 17, 1993, it became the first highway to be named after former U.S. President Ronald Reagan.[8][9] Most of Ronald Reagan Highway was transferred to the state highway system in 1997.[10]
