Good Day!
Construction updateSR 315 construction to impact concert trafficFaculty and staff planning to attend the Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood concert today (6/15) at the Schottenstein Center are reminded that SR 315 construction is likely to create heavy traffic around campus. However, the Medical Center exit ramp and the Lane Avenue entrance ramp to 315 north will still be open this evening. Kenny Road, Olentangy River Road, High Street, Lane Avenue and Woody Hayes Drive are all likely to experience traffic congestion. Traffic officers will be placed strategically around campus to assist motorists. Concert goers should plan to arrive early for the 8 p.m. show (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) and also anticipate delays leaving the university area. For those who want to arrive before the doors open, there will be live music as well as food and drink on the northeast side of Schottenstein. If you have a disability and construction temporarily interrupts your access, contact L. Scott Lissner at mailto:ADA-OSU@osu.edu or 292-6207.
