OHIO Builds for the future

This summer will see major construction projects both on the Ohio University campus and in the city of Athens-projects that will transform the campus for the better in the long run, but will affect parking and traffic flow for vehicles and pedestrians in the near term.

To ensure happy traveling, plan ahead and expect delays. Before leaving home, check the Ohio Department of Transportation's Buckeye Traffic website or the new OHGO for the latest road conditions due to construction and weather. When you're closer to Athens, check #OhioUBuilds on Twitter for any last-minute detours or lane changes. And while traveling around campus, please be careful and alert.

Thanks in advance for your patience. We promise the results will be worth it!
