Construction

Beginning July 23 and continuing through August 17, crews will paint the university light poles along Woody Hayes Drive between Kenny Road and Olentangy Bridge, between 6 a.m. and mid-afternoon daily. One lane eastbound and one lane westbound will be maintained. Traffic control personnel will be on hand to direct pedestrians.

UPDATE - Beginning June 30 early morning through late evening, and again on July 14 early morning through late evening, there will be a minimal sidewalk impact on the southeast corner of Neil Ave. and Annie & John Glenn Ave., for utility work.

Beginning July 9 at 7 a.m. and continuing through mid October, fencing will be in place on Hagerty Drive between the Faculty Club and Orton Hall to facilitate work on the Oval Reconstruction project. During the work day, flaggers will maintain 2-way traffic in one lane. After work hours daily, the fencing will be pulled back to accommodate traffic in 2 lanes. Temporary pathways have been constructed to accommodate ADA passage along the east sidewalk.

Beginning July 2 at 7 a.m. and continuing through July 20 late afternoon, between the hours of 7 a.m. through 5 p.m. daily, a lane restriction will be in place on College Road at Annie & John Glenn Avenue, for utility work. During this time, traffic control officers will be on hand to assist with traffic flow, as follows, with traffic resuming its normal operations in the evenings and overnight:

Beginning June 29 at 1 p.m. and continuing through July 1 evening, and again beginning July 6 at 1 p.m. and continuing through July 8 evening, the drive area east of Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute will be staged for a crane lift and construction materials and vehicles. Access to the Doan Hall loading docks will be maintained.

UPDATE - In July, utility work will begin in the Buckeye Village area for the Covelli Center for a new gas line to support the Covelli Center. Some of this work will take place from north of Mahoning Court to southwest of the Recreation Hall (locations are proximate and subject to change). A minimum of five holes will be dug as access points to install a new gas line. Safety is our top priority, and each location will be surrounded with chain link fencing at all times. Crews expect the holes to be uncovered for two weeks before being backfilled...

Beginning June 25, fencing will be in place around Fontana Laboratory and 140 W. 19th Ave. (formerly known as Koffolt Laboratory), in anticipation of renovations and a building addition. Pedestrians will be directed to the north side of Woodruff Avenue and the south side of 19th Avenue.

UPDATE - On June 22, beginning at 6 a.m. and continuing through mid-morning, the parking lot at Starling-Loving Hall will be closed for a crane lift. Access to the EMT reserved spaces will be maintained. Alternate ADA parking is available on 10th Avenue and in the Hamilton Hall and Newton Hall parking lots.

On June 9, beginning at 7 a.m. and continuing through early afternoon, 12th Avenue will be closed at Postle Hall for a crane lift. Signage will detour traffic to Herrick Drive. Pedestrians will be directed to use the north sidewalk.

The June 11 closure of the SR-315 on ramp at 12th Avenue, as well as Cannon Drive, south of Herrick Drive, will limit vehicular traffic and detour shuttle routes . Commuters should plan ahead and expect delays.

In addition, fencing will be installed along Neil Avenue to shift pedestrian traffic and support vehicular access in the area:
