> Here it is mid March already and right  at 2 months till the Dayton
> Hamvention. There is one small hitch this year,  road construction,
> and lots of it. With that said, I am sending this notice  out in hopes
> of reaching as many as possible in advance to try to minimize  the
> problems we could all (staff, volunteers, attendees,  speakers,
> everyone) face.
>
> One of the main surface streets used by  attendees of Hamvention every
> year is Needmore Road since it is almost a  straight shot from I-75
> (exit 58) to Hara Arena. Unfortunately in the next  couple weeks a
> rebuild project is set to begin on this roadway right in the  travel
> path to Hara in which it will be down to one lane each way for no  less
> than 100 working days.
>
> The next problem we face in the way of  construction is at the north
> end of the Downtown Dayton area (about the 53 to  56 mile markers on
> I-75). In this area the Ohio Department of Transportation  has started
> a multi-year multi-phase reconstruction of I-75 in which there  are
> lane restrictions, bridge replacements, and various other  adjacent
> projects.
>
> Both of these projects are much overdue and will,  in the long run,
> drastically improve travel in the area. Unfortunately for  now we are
> faced with these projects in high volume areas that are already  prone
> to trouble from even the slightest traffic issue. To assist  everyone
> involved we are asking that those attending Hamvention please try  to
> avoid these areas if possible. Our hope is that if we minimize  our
> traffic in the area, and a problem does occur, we do not make it  worse
> with our increased traffic flow.

> Please use the below listed  alternatives if you need to go to the
