Cannon Drive Construction
In conjunction with Framework 2.0, the straightening and elevating of Cannon Drive will support future growth of the university and the Medical Center by:
- Creating 12 acres of developable land
- Serving as future flood protection
- Creating an eventual north-south connection between King and Lane Avenues
- Enhancing green space in the Olentangy River corridor
The project began September 5, 2017, and the first phase of construction is expected to run through autumn 2019. Learn more by using the below resources.

Summer is prime time for construction as the university invests in the campus of the future. Multiple construction projects, starting on or around Mon. (5/6) will impact vehicles and pedestrians. A closure of College Road will detour traffic and CABS routes. Detours may be slow as construction reduces High Street to one lane in each direction.
