'''Interstate&nbsp;71''' ('''I-71''') is a north–south [[Interstate Highway]] in the [[midwestern]] and [[Southeastern United States|southeastern]] regions of the United States. Its southern terminus is at an interchange with [[Interstate 64|I-64]] and [[Interstate 65|I-65]] (the [[Kennedy Interchange]]) in [[Louisville, Kentucky]], and its northern terminus at an interchange with [[Interstate 90|I-90]] in [[Cleveland, Ohio]]. I-71 runs concurrently with [[Interstate 75|I-75]] from a point about {{convert|20|mi|km}} south of [[Cincinnati, Ohio]], into [[Downtown Cincinnati]]. While most odd numbered Interstates run north–south, I-71 takes more of a northeast–southwest course, with some east–west sections, and is mainly a regional route serving [[Kentucky]] and [[Ohio]]. It links [[Interstate 80|I-80]] and I-90 to [[Interstate 70|I-70]]. Major metropolitan areas served by I-71 include [[Louisville metropolitan area|Louisville]], [[Cincinnati metropolitan area|Cincinnati]], [[Columbus metropolitan area, Ohio|Columbus]], and [[Greater Cleveland|Cleveland]].

Approximately three-quarters of the route lies east of I-75, leaving I-71 out of place in the Interstate grid.
