Motorists should expect delays for the next several hours

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Beginning on or after Saturday, September 21, crews will close the westbound lanes and shift westbound traffic to the south side of the facility. There will be one lane of traffic in each direction stretching from Barker Avenue to Posey County Line Road.

This traffic switch will make room for crews to construct the new westbound lanes of the Lloyd Expressway. Improvements include pavement replacement, bridge reconstruction and intersection improvements. This new traffic configuration will be in place until the middle of 2025 when traffic will shift to the newly constructed side and work will begin on the eastbound side of the facility.

Drivers should use the Zipper Merge technique when entering the work zone. Use both lanes up to the merge point, and take turns merging into the single lane. Click here to learn more about zipper merges.
