Only in Columbus

This afternoon I was driving up High Street along the OSU campus and the city had the right northbound lane closed for resurfacing. Why today? Why September 19th? Because today is the first day of autumn quarter classes. Why resurface during the summer when there's like 45,000 fewer people attempting to get around the area? It's more fun to see if campus traffic can get backed-up to downtown. Since there is a home football game this Saturday, I would assume that is when they will be working on the southbound lanes.
