  Every finite collection of oriented closed geodesics in the modular surface
has a canonically associated link in its unit tangent bundle coming from the
periodic orbits of the geodesic flow. We study the volume of the associated
link complement with respect to its unique complete hyperbolic metric. We
provide the first lower volume bound that is linear in terms of the number of
distinct exponents in the code words corresponding to the collection of closed
geodesics.
