Cannon Drive Relocation

Cannon Drive Construction

In conjunction with Framework 2.0, the straightening and elevating of Cannon Drive will support future growth of the university and the Medical Center by:

  • Creating 12 acres of developable land
  • Serving as future flood protection
  • Creating an eventual north-south connection between King and Lane Avenues
  • Enhancing green space in the Olentangy River corridor

The project began September 5, 2017, and the first phase of construction is expected to run through autumn 2019. Learn more by using the below resources.
