What are the traffic restrictions on 12th Avenue?
It seems to be both a one-way street at one end, and a two-way street at another. To facilitate the widening of 12th Avenue in preparation for the state Route 315 ramps — scheduled to open in July — traffic on 12th Avenue is restricted to one-way eastbound between the University Hospital loading dock and Neil Avenue, effective Wednesday April 7. All traffic exiting the 12th Avenue Garage is being detoured eastbound. Project schedules have been rearranged to minimize the impacts to customers in this area, however traffic delays will be inevitable. All traffic not accessing the parking along 12th Avenue should use King Avenue as a detour. This restriction is expected to last into June. For now, motorists parking in the North Cannon Garage will still be permitted to exit westbound. In related project news, the university and the City of Columbus are working together to adjust the timing of stoplights along Neil Avenue, which should help alleviate some traffic concerns along 12th Avenue.
