Construction update1650 AM provides driving directions to and from OSUWith the State Route 315 construction re-routing people coming and going from Ohio State through November, the university is now broadcasting round-the-clock driving directions via its new station, 1650 AM. The directions highlight what SR 315 ramps remain accessible and turn-by-turn information to reach the Medical Center and the Veterinary Teaching Hospital — which are the top destinations for those unfamiliar with OSU. Directions on how to leave the campus via SR 315, 670 East and Interstate 71 also are provided. The university signed a 10-year lease for the radio frequency, and information will be updated as conditions change.
