On November 17, beginning early morning and continuing through early evening, Hagerty Drive will be closed to thru-traffic for a crane lift to Mendenhall Laboratory. Alternate parking is available at the Ohio Union garages. Because of the steep inclines, the recommended ADA access detour is through The Oval, as indicated by the blue dotted line on the map.
On November 9, beginning early morning and continuing through mid-day, the loading dock area between Celeste Lab and Evans Lab will be closed for a crane lift.
On November 10, beginning early morning and continuing through mid-day, 12th Avenue north of Harding Hospital will be closed for a materials delivery. Westbound traffic to North Cannon Garage will be detoured southbound between Harding Hospital and Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute. Eastbound traffic exiting North Cannon Garage will be detoured to the east side of Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute. The south side of 12th Avenue will be closed to pedestrians. Traffic control officials will be on hand to give priority to emergency vehicles and to assist with vehicles and pedestrians.
Utility work underneath The Oval is nearing completion. By mid-November, fences will be reduced and all walkways will be open to pedestrians. The project also updated what those passers-by won't see – 3,000 feet of utility lines pushed back the timeline a bit, snaking through a brick-and-mortar tunnel system built in the early 1900's.
Work started in April and is expected to be finished in November.
On November 10, beginning early morning and continuing through early evening, the parking area between Ramseyer Hall and Arps Garage will be closed for a crane lift. ADA parking on the west side of the building will not be affected, but the south ADA entrance will be closed for the duration.

While it will miss the initial projected completion by the end of October, the reconstruction and repair of the tunnel system beneath the Oval is set to be completed Nov. 15.
Utility work underneath The Oval is nearing completion. By mid-November, fences will be reduced and all walkways will be open to pedestrians (see map). Temporary fencing and post-and-rope will remain into spring 2019 to protect grass impacted by construction. Everyone is asked to stay off the turf in impacted areas while we restore the campus landmark.
The project, designed to support building heating and hot water near The Oval, continues through November 2018. Please use caution when traveling near construction zones. Pedestrians should continue to plan ahead for travel through The Oval while the temporary fencing and post-and-rope remain...
