Directions from Wedding to Reception

     This interactive map shows the routes by which you reach OH-315 as you enter the Columbus metropolitan area from any direction via US-33, I-70, or I-71. Each route is color-coded: from the Northwest, Northeast, East, Southeast, Southwest, or West.

     Once you reach OH-315, you will take the Red Route, from the North or the Blue Route, from the South, respectively, to arrive and park in The Ohio State University 12th Avenue Garage.

     Once you've parked, follow the pink walking route to arrive at the Browning Amphitheatre.

     We strongly recommend against improvised alternative approach routes. The provided routes minimize driving distance on campus and put you off the highway within one half-mile of the 12th Avenue Garage. Foot and vehicle traffic is usually quite heavy in the academic areas of campus and off-campus student housing areas, and most other routes necessitate driving directly through such areas, which can result in delays of 5-25 minutes to your arrival.

     This interactive map shows, in brown, the route by which you leave the 12th Avenue Garage (always on the North side, facing John H. Herrick Drive, Regardless of which way you entered the garage from), pass through Lennox Town Center, and re-enter OH-315 North, and then proceed to the Bridgewater Banquet and Conference Center for the following Reception.
