TheLloyd4U Virtual and Public Meetings this Month

    Meetings will introduce the project and improvements

    A series of public meetings will be held this month to introduce TheLloyd4U and provide an overview of the project and improvements planned. The meetings will include a virtual meeting and two in-person meetings.

    The meetings are an opportunity to learn more about the project, preliminary design concepts and next steps. More than a dozen improvement projects are planned along the Lloyd Expressway, from Posey County Line Road to Cross Pointe Boulevard.

    The Indiana Department of Transportation plans to invest more than $100 million in improvements to make the Lloyd Expressway more efficient and safer for motorists to navigate. The work will include intersection improvements, bridge replacements, pavement replacement and more.

    Public Meetings
    The virtual public meeting is 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 20. People who want to attend should register in advance at http://bit.ly/TheLloyd4U-PublicMeeting or on the project website.

    Two in-person meetings will be offered the same week. The meetings will include social distancing and several health precautions. Face masks will be required for the meetings. To allow more distancing for participants, two presentations will be available at each meeting.
