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.

Holy Name making push for pedestrian bridge in Henderson
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The landscape near downtown Henderson could soon have a much different look with the help of a local church. Holy Name Catholic Church wants to help the downtown growth while making the area safer at the same time. 'We want to be good neighbors, and play our part in the life and development of this beautiful city,' says Holy Name Pastor Father Richard Meredith. Father Richard is pushing for the construction of a pedestrian bridge at 2nd and Adams streets in Henderson. The church, as well as Holy Name School, presented the results of a feasibility study to Henderson City Commission addressing the need for safer crossing options. 'I said, 'Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a safe means of crossing 2nd street',' says Father Richard, 'which there's going to be an increase in traffic volume, and increased pedestrian traffic as this area develops.' Two chaplains join HPD for the first time in nearly 20 years Father Richard calls the estimate of $3.6 million 'conservative.' While the city gave the green light to move forward, funding sources are still to be determined. The school says over 400 students cross the busy intersection every week. 'Not just for the church and school,' explains Father Richard, 'and we certainly benefit from it, but WARM Center and various other activities that are growing up here on 2nd Street. Plus, it would look like a gateway!' The bridge is expected to have stairs and an elevator with a design matching the church and a soon-to-be constructed fire station. Traffic on the busy four-lane road is expected to increase when the new I-69 route is complete, as this area is considered the gateway into downtown Henderson. A timeline has not been nailed down, but Father Richard plans to meet with State Senator Robby Mills to discuss potential funding options from the state. 'Until we know the cost, the funding, is conceivable, it's really impossible to project the timeline,' says Father Meredith. 'But until we hit a brick wall that says you can't do any more, we're going to pursue the idea.'

Good Friday in Chicago: Live reenactments and early crowds highlight Holy Week events
CHICAGO — Attendees arrived at Holy Name Cathedral hours before its Good Friday observance. It was just one of many Holy Week events taking place across the Chicago area. Cardinal Blase Cupich was even in attendance at Holy Name's Good Friday observance. Earlier in the day, churches in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood observed Good Friday with a live reenactment of the 14 Stations of the Cross, representing the story of Jesus' crucifixion. The cherished tradition attracts thousands of people each year. For the first time ever, the opening scenes started on a stage located at 18th & Halsted Streets, moving its traditional start inside of a church. Dozens of people helped portray Jesus' final days, including the Last Supper and crucifixion. WGN's Emmy Victor asked those who gathered at Holy Name Cathedral why they decided to arrive hours before the observance. 'Jesus' death was at three. We came to pray for his death. He suffered for all of us and I feel like we take that for granted,' Camila Rubio said. 'We came to say thank you.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
