More information is being unveiled about the state of Indiana’s “Lloyd4U” project, which will be making changes to the Lloyd Expressway. Project officials say the changes are meant to make the road more efficient and safer. Officials say their intent is to make things run a bit more smoothly and cut down on unsafe areas. In his State of the City presentation, Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke talked about several infrastructure projects coming to the city. One of these was the upcoming Lloyd4U project. Officials say the growth of the city makes the project necessary. The Lloyd4U project is made up of 17 smaller projects, stretching from the Posey to the Warrick County lines. These include replacing pavement and bridges, as well as improving intersections and widening the road in places. Project officials say the state is investing more than $150 million in the work, which they expect to take about three years. They say there won’t be any road closures or detoured traffic while the work is underway, so they encourage people to leave earlier, or make alternate plans once construction starts.
The Evansville Police Department wants to make people aware of a recent phone scam officers say is going around. Police say many people have called to report they are receiving calls from the EPD Administration Number: (812) 436-7896. EPD officials say when these people answer or return the call, a man responds claiming to be with EPD. Police say the scammer tells the person they are calling that they have jury duty, owes money, or has a warrant out for their arrest. EPD officials say this is a scam and a way to try to get someone to pay money. For those who have been the victim of this scam, or a similar scam, please contact your local police department and report the incident.
