Road Work Expected During Ohio Renaissance Fetival

We hope this message finds you well and filled with excitement for the upcoming Ohio Renaissance Festival. As we finalize preparations for this highly anticipated event, we would like to bring to your attention a temporary inconvenience that may impact your travel plans. Significant road work is currently taking place in the vicinity of the event venue at the intersection of State Route 73 and State Route 380, which could result in potential traffic delays. We wanted to ensure that you are informed well in advance, allowing you to plan your journey accordingly and minimize any inconvenience.

Here are some key details regarding the road work and our recommendations for navigating the potential traffic situation:

DURATION AND SCHEDULE:

  • The road work commenced in the Spring of 2023 and is expected to continue until October of 2023.
  • Construction activities will mainly occur on weekdays during daytime hours, however, this schedule could change as determined by the State of Ohio.
  • Please note that these timelines are subject to change based on external factors or unforeseen circumstances.

AFFECTED ROUTES:

  • The primary route that may experience traffic congestion is State Route 73 near the event venue.
  • We recommend considering alternative routes, such as State Route 42 to State Route 73 or State Route 68 to I-71, to potentially avoid heavy traffic areas. State Route 380 to Brimstone Road may not be an option.
  • Prioritize using GPS navigation systems or traffic apps for real-time updates on the best route options available.
  • Exit route from festival parking lot may change depending on the status of construction at the intersection of State Route 380 and State Route 73.

PLAN AHEAD:

  • Allow yourself ample time to reach the event venue, factoring in potential traffic delays caused by the ongoing road work.
  • Consider carpooling or ridesharing with fellow attendees to reduce the number of vehicles on the road.
  • Have patience when exiting the event venue, factoring in delays caused by potential road closures.

REGULAR UPDATES:

  • We will closely monitor the road work progress and provide timely updates on any changes or additional information through our official channels.
  • Stay connected with us via our website and social media accounts for the latest news and updates.
