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.

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.
