Latest Lloyd Expressway closure in Evansville could affect back-to-school traffic
EVANSVILLE – The newest road closure stemming from the overhaul of the Lloyd Expressway will briefly impact back-to-school traffic for a West Side school.
According to a Sunday news release from the Indiana Department of Transportation, the intersection from the Lloyd onto northbound Boehne Camp Road will close for about 30 days starting on or around Monday, July 14.
That could affect traffic to Perry Heights Middle School, which sits near the intersection of Boehne Camp and Hogue roads. Classes start on Aug. 4, right in the middle of the closure.
"Access Boehne Camp from the north if you normally use the Lloyd," the release states. "The closure relates to minor intersection improvements at Boehne Camp – from added (or) lengthened turn lanes to new pavement markings, signage and traffic signal replacement."
This likely won't be the only closure for the stretch. Work will continue "intermittently through 2026," the release says.
The construction is part of the ongoing $100 million revamp of the Lloyd's entire expanse. Work on new alternative intersections recently wrapped up at Stockwell Road, and major construction will soon begin in earnest at the Lloyd's interchanges with Burkhardt Road and Cross Pointe Boulevard.
The West Side all the way to the Posey County line remains under heavy construction as well. The entire project isn't expected to finish until 2028.
