Get ready, Lloyd Expressway drivers: Revamped intersections will open this week
After months of construction, revamped intersections on the Lloyd Expressway in Evansville are set to open this week. Weather permitting, the Lloyd's new interchanges with Stockwell Road will be unveiled to the public on Wednesday after the "morning peak travel period" ends, the Indiana Department of Transportation said in a news release Monday morning. Motorists heading east on the Lloyd and looking to turn north onto Stockwell will come upon a displaced left. They'll have to enter the left turn lanes right as they pass Vann Avenue and well before they reach the main intersection. "Pay attention to signs and pavement markings to avoid missing your opportunity to go north," the release states. Westbound Lloyd drivers wanting to head south on Stockwell, meanwhile, will navigate a boulevard left. They will actually go through the main intersection and then spill into a left turn lane that will eventually allow them to make a U-turn. That will send them back the opposite direction to then turn right onto Stockwell. According to the release, police officers will be on scene to "encourage traffic calming" − as in, make sure drivers navigate the designs smoothly. On Tuesday, crews will actually block traditional left turns onto northbound Stockwell to prep for the unveiling. And there will be additional closures as workers add new pavement striping between Stockwell and the Pigeon Creek Bridge. The Stockwell work is one small part of the yearslong, $100 million overhaul of the Lloyd Expressway that's meant to improve safety and travel times. And as one project ends, two more are set to begin. On Monday, crews planned to begin prep work for huge undertakings at two of the busiest intersections in Evansville: the Lloyd and Burkhart Road, and the Lloyd and Cross Pointe Boulevard. Both will receive displaced left turns in each direction. Drivers will start to see closures of interior lanes as workers remove concrete medians.

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.
