ROAD CONSTRUCTION AT WRIGHT STATE

Editors: Wright State University fall quarter classes begin Wednesday, Sept. 16. As a commuter campus, Wright State always experiences traffic congestion as 16,000 students descend on campus for the first weeks of classes. This year traffic could be especially difficult because the North Fairfield Road/Col. Glenn Highway intersection in front of the Nutter Center will be under construction. This heavily traveled intersection handles most of the traffic coming to Wright State from Beavercreek along with the traffic coming from both the north and the south on I-675.

We appreciate your help getting the word out to students and returning faculty to avoid this intersection. The following information about the construction and alternate routes can help motorists beat the jam at North Fairfield Road and Col. Glenn Highway.

Construction at North Fairfield Road and Col. Glenn Highway Could Affect Back-to-School Traffic at Wright State. The Ohio Department of Transportation has begun a nine-month construction project to add additional lanes at the intersection of North Fairfield Road and Col. Glenn Highway. Traffic will be maintained, however, there could be long delays for those coming to Wright State.

To avoid delays, motorists coming from the north on I-675 should either:

• exit on Route 444 (Exit 24) and go through Fairborn past the WPAFB main gate to Rt. 844 and follow the signs to Wright State, or
  
• exit at Grange Hall Road (Exit 16), turn right on Grange Hall and right on Col. Glenn and take Col. Glenn east back to Wright State.

Those coming from the south on I-675 should:

• take the Wright State/North Fairfield Road exit, Rt. 844 (Exit 17), and follow the signs to Wright State University instead of North Fairfield Road.

Those coming from the south on N. Fairfield Road should:

• take Kemp Road west (turn left) to Grange Hall Road, turn right on Grange Hall and right on Col. Glenn. Take Col. Glenn east to Wright State.
