Woody Hayes Dr. Lane, Sidewalk, Midwest Campus Bus Stop, Crossing Closures 

holman.126@osu.edu | December 15, 2025
alternative stops on Fyffe Road north of Woody Hayes and on Woody Hayes near Herrick

Beginning January 5 and continuing through July 2026, rolling lane closures will move east to west along Woody Hayes Drive, between the Olentangy River bridge and Kenny Road. Two-way traffic will be maintained, however travel delays are anticipated. 

From early January through mid-February, the CABS westbound Midwest Campus bus stop will be relocated and the mid-block crossing will be closed. Pedestrians will be detoured to the south sidewalk at Fyffe Road. Motorists should anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic at the Woody Hayes Drive and Fyffe Road intersection. The Agricultural Administration and Engineering buildings parking lot access will be available via Fyffe Road only.

This project supports utility work required for the Innovation District at Ohio State. 

All are encouraged to be alert, aware of your surroundings and eliminate distracted behaviors. Look out for your fellow Buckeyes and follow the rules of the road.
