VIEW CVG CAMERAS →Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) is unique among major US airports — it's located in Kentucky but primarily serves Cincinnati, Ohio. Specifically located in Hebron, Kentucky (Boone County), approximately 13 miles southwest of downtown Cincinnati. CVG is a major Amazon Air cargo hub — Amazon's CVG Air Hub opened in 2021 and represents the largest package-shipping air hub in the world per Amazon. Primary highway access is via I-275 (the Cincinnati outer beltway) and I-71/I-75 (which merge and cross the Ohio River via the Brent Spence Bridge). The airport spans both Kentucky and feeds into Ohio traffic systems — so camera coverage comes from KYTC, GoKY, ODOT, and OHGO.
