from Wood County, WV, Airport

Stay on US-50 W through Parkersburg and Belpre, OH. A four-lane bypass is under construction through Parkersburg and Belpre, using a new bridge over the Ohio River, with additional segments being opened as they are completed. If you encounter any traffic lights in Parkersburg, then the bypass is not yet complete, and you will need to bear right as you come off of the old bridge over the Ohio River. Once you are on US-50 W in Belpre, you have about 45 minutes still to go.

Stay on US-50 W all the way up the Hocking River valley to the city of Athens. This will require an exit from the OH-7 four-lane less than a mile West of the small sign to turn left for "downtown Coolville."

US-50 is now four lanes all the way from Belpre to Athens.

After US-33 E joins US-50 W in Athens, take Exit 17, for OH-682 N. Turn right at the first traffic light, onto Richland Avenue, to cross the Hocking River and enter the Ohio University campus. You will be at coordinates E-6 on the campus map, with the Convocation Center on your left and Peden Stadium on your right.
