Rt. 315: Getting there from here
Sunday, June 14, 2009 3:33 AM
BY BILL BUSHWhile workers repair bridges and the highway surface, the 70,000 vehicles a day that travel Rt. 315 will be squeezed into two lanes in each direction, down from the existing three lanes. By next Monday, those temporary lanes all will be on what is currently the southbound side of the freeway in a project that is scheduled to stretch into October.
Since the article didn’t mention it, I’ll put in a plug for riding transit to help alleviate congestion. If enough people do it, it could actually help. So go to COTA.com and start planning your trip.
Don’t forget the Olentangy Bike Trail and, depending on where you are, the easy to navigate bike friendly roadways.
Hrm. I’m about to head over to Third Avenue, and from there up to CuCo’s on Henderson. Right in the middle of the construction without an onramp in site. Whatever shall I do?
So, I ended up taking Olentangy to the Lennox area to Kenny to Henderson. This was around 7pm and Olentangy was still a bit busy and looked like it was getting even busier going towards OSU. Signed pointed that way as the official detour route.
Kenny was wide open though. Smooth sailing to CuCo’s and back.
The world did not end and the sky did not fall! Amazing!

Sounds like it kinda sucks:
