Highways
Hebron is served by one major interstate highway. Interstate 275 is an outer-belt highway through Northern Kentucky.
It is also served by numerous state highways: Kentucky Route 237 (North Bend Road), Kentucky Route 20 (Petersburg Road), and formerly Kentucky Route 3168 (Limaburg Road).
ARTIMIS is Greater Cincinnati's interstate information service. Current highway conditions are available 24/7 locally by dialing 511. For out-of-town drivers or "511"-disabled phone systems, one can call 513-333-3333.
During late May and early June 2009 work continued for redecking of the KY 237 bridge over I-275. Sidewalk and storm drain work continues.
On June 15, 2009, Graves Road was permanently rerouted to the new alignment. Traffic using Graves Road now must use the new (partially open) roundabout to access KY 237.
The project was completed in the summer of 2010.
