West side bridge work signals Lloyd4U progress
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) – A major road on the West side of Evansville is back open after crews spent Thursday morning setting the stage for a new bridge along the Lloyd Expressway. The work closed a section of Tekoppel Avenue to allow for bridge beams to be put in place. This work is part of what will become a wider bridge, creating more space for traffic. Crews continued work just west of Tekoppel, as well, where an overpass at a railroad is being torn down. This is just one section of a much larger project, upgrading the Lloyd Expressway between Posey and Warrick counties. The entire project is set to be complete in 2028. Solar company hosting open house to discuss Vanderburgh County facility Nicole Minton, The Lloyd4U Project spokesperson with the Lochmueller Group, says the current traffic patterns will be in place for a while, but drivers will eventually see the payoff. 'Currently, when you might come up over that ridge over the train tracks and Carpenter Creek and you come down and you see that red light and the traffic cued up,' explains Minton, 'we're hoping to ease that a little bit so that you have better line of sight when you're coming up to Rosenberger, you have longer lanes, longer left turn lanes as you want to get to Chick-Fil-A. Yeah, we're really looking forward to adding some capacity to the area.' Once work is complete on the westbound lanes, crews will flip over to the eastbound direction. Details on the entire Lloyd4U Project can be found on the project's website.

Jasper High School students ‘stuff the bus' on High School Radio Day
JASPER, Ind. (WEHT) – Students at Jasper High School are celebrating National High School Radio Day while helping those in need. The annual celebration collects donations for Community CHEW, a Dubois County non-profit that helps feed families. Evan Elrod runs the school's radio station, 91.7 The Curve, giving students the chance to broadcast live for Stuff The Bus. 'One of the things that we don't do a lot of that other radio stations do is go live on location,' says Elrod. 'This gives the kids an opportunity to get out of the studio and have that live pressure moment of, 'Okay, what am I supposed to say now?'' 'It kind of has helped me find exactly what I want to do and exactly how I can use that in real world experiences,' says Jasper senior Ava Bower. Grant Seibert, a junior, says the event helps personally and professionally. 'It just makes me feel good that I'm able to give back for all the great things that the community has provided for me,' says Seibert. Honor Flight mail sorting begins in Evansville 'I was not expecting this many people,' adds Bower. 'It's just really nice to see how many people we impact with The Curve, because you're behind the radio station, you are talking to yourself, basically,' she says, 'so it's really nice to know that we are heard.' For some students, it's a chance to see what a future in broadcasting looks like with a live report from a special event. For others, like senior Caelyn Lenardo, it's a cause that hits close to home. 'Personally, for me, I have been on the other side of this. I have been a part of Community CHEW when I was younger,' explains Lenardo. 'I used to go to their Summer program and they would totally help a lot. They would feed me every single day when my parents were at work and I was 12 years old and didn't know how to cook anything other than an egg!' Lenardo goes on to say, 'I love that I'm part of something that helps give back to someone that I have been at one point.' Many students say the turnout for Stuff The Bus exceeded their expectations. Elrod says the community support was never in question. 'I will never underestimate the power of a strong community, and that's where we're at here,' says Elrod. 'We have a really strong community that isn't afraid to give back.'
