EVANSVILLE – All six lanes of the Lloyd Expressway will briefly close to remove a pedestrian bridge, the Indiana Department of Transportation says.
The closure will take place from 11 p.m. Monday to 5 a.m. Tuesday just west of the Lloyd / St. Joseph Avenue interchange. Crews will dismantle the pedestrian bridge that’s stretched across that passage since 1957.
Workers demolished the ramps to the bridge earlier this month. By 2026, they’ll replace the entire structure with a new, 177-foot bridge by the summer of 2026, INDOT claims.
The work will close every lane of the Lloyd in every direction in that area. The official detours Monday into Tuesday will be:
The work is part of the long-gestating redesign of the Lloyd Expressway. Heavy work continues both on the West Side and at the interchanges with Burkhardt Road and Cross Pointe Boulevard farther east.
The entire project isn’t slated to be wrapped up until 2028.
