SHORT DETOUR FOR THOSE WHO PLAN TO TRAVEL FROM THE SOUTH THROUGH LANCASTER NORTH TO GET TO OU LANCASTER ON SATURDAY. 

Fairfield county ODOT will be removing a tree along Rte. 37 this Saturday.  The work is confined to the area around Rising Park.  Since OU Lancaster is located directly off of 37, people coming from south of campus, through Lancaster, will experience a detour.  It will take an extra couple of minutes.  Below are the details:
  1. COMING FROM THE SOUTH OF OU LANCASTER:
    • ODOT RECOMMENDED Local detour: North High Street to SR 37 to Stringtown Road to Mondhank Road (and reverse).  When arriving, this will leave you slightly north of campus at SR 37.  Turn right onto SR 37.  OUL will be on your left. 
    • ALTERNATIVELY: Local police comment that it is possible to take High Street / Rte. 37 to Fair Avenue (Corner of the fairgrounds).  At that signal, make a right turn and travel to the 2nd four-way which is Arbor Valley Drive.  Take a left on Arbor Valley Drive which will take you to behind the Lancaster High School.  Follow the street out of Lancaster High School to Rte. 37. Make a right turn and OU will be on your right.
  2. COMING FROM NORTH OF OU LANCASTER: 
    • If you plan to take Rte 37 south to OU Lancaster, there is no detour. RTE 37 IS OPEN FROM I-70 ALL THE WAY TO OHIO UNIVERSITY LANCASTER. ODOT has placed a detour for trucks at 256 & Rte 37.  You may safely ignore that detour.
