Multiple events will take place at Ohio Stadium in April. During these events, the Olentangy Trail reroute around Ohio Stadium will be moved east to Tuttle Park Place. As area event preparations occur and event-related traffic increases, the adjustment will be in place beginning the morning before the event.
April Events
A stormwater detention system with the ability to hold up to seven acre-feet (more than two million gallons) of storm water is being installed at the Cannon Drive Relocation – Phase 2 site.
The Cannon Drive Relocation – Phase 2 project is on track to be completed by January 2025. FOD and construction crews are working on utility installation. Certified flood levee construction is paused, per weather restrictions, and will resume in April.
The Olentangy Trail detour, previously anticipated to open at the end of November, will remain in place through summer 2024 to support continued levee work as part of the Cannon Drive Relocation – Phase 2 project, which will add a 500-year flood protection for Ohio State’s Columbus campus.
As early as November 6 and continuing through the end of January 2024, the demolition of the Drake Performance Center will occur. Fencing around the site will remain in place. Additional noise associated with the demolition will take place Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
