Columbus, OH, August 31, 2026 —
College Road, located behind the Ohio Union in Columbus, OH, is currently undergoing significant closures that are expected to last until late October. These disruptions are part of a comprehensive construction project anticipated to conclude in the spring of 2027.
The current phase of work necessitates the closure of College Road in both directions. The affected stretch runs between 12th Avenue and Hagerty Drive. This closure has a direct impact on local infrastructure, affecting pedestrian access in the vicinity and altering established CABS bus routes.
The overall construction initiative is a multi-year effort. While the immediate road closures on College Road are slated to end in late October, the broader project’s completion is not expected until spring 2027. Specific details regarding the nature of the construction project, its objectives, or the contractors involved were not provided in the summary.
Commuters, students, and residents are advised to anticipate continued detours and altered transit schedules as the construction progresses. The impact on pedestrian pathways means that those traveling on foot may need to seek alternative routes around the Ohio Union area.
Further updates on the construction timeline and any changes to traffic patterns or public transportation services will be made available as the project advances towards its projected completion date in spring 2027.
