We are all too familiar with construction barrels and road closures in the Evansville, Indiana area. A major road construction plan is in the works that will combine both of the things we loathe - Orange cones and more lane closures on the Lloyd Expressway.

1,460 Days of Construction

That's right friends, 1,460 days equals 4 years! That is the estimated timeline for the improvement projects planned for the Lloyd Expressway. The project's code name is TheLloyd4U. I don't know if it's really a code name, but it sounds cool.
