Construction alert: Thousands expected to attend weekend events

Posted on | June 24, 2009 | 789 views |

Ohio State will be a very busy place this weekend as the 2009 Ohio Special Olympics Summer Games take place at several campus locations. Some 7,000-10,000 visitors are expected to attend the annual games, which kick off Friday afternoon (6/26) at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. Heavy pedestrian traffic throughout campus and particularly around RPAC and Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium is anticipated. Officers will be available to maintain vehicle and pedestrian traffic in these areas during the event.

The continuation of the State Route 315 construction project, in addition to the Special Olympics Summer Games, will generate heavy traffic along Kenny Road, Olentangy River Road, High Street as well as Lane Avenue and possibly Woody Hayes Drive. During this time, motorists should anticipate parking shortages and traffic delays and are encouraged to plan accordingly to reduce frustration.

During the SR 315 construction, southbound traffic for Ohio Special Olympics may use the Ackerman and Lane Avenue exits and Northbound traffic should use the Lane Avenue exit. Additionally, campus is accessible via I-71 from Hudson Street for southbound traffic, and from 11th Avenue for northbound traffic.

Traffic leaving the area going northbound will be directed to the Ackerman Road entrance ramp via Kenny and Olentangy River Road. Traffic going southbound will be directed to the Olentangy/Goodale entrance ramp via Kenny and Olentangy River Road. Options for alternate outbound traffic include I-71 via 11th Avenue or Fifth Avenue.
