Public can comment on the environmental assessment for the proposed reconstruction of State Road 62 (Lloyd Expressway) from Eickhoff Road to First Avenue
|
The Indiana Department of Transportation will hold a public hearing at USI at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 13, in Mitchell Auditorium in the Health Professions Center, and offer the public an opportunity to comment on the environmental assessment for the proposed reconstruction of State Road 62 (Lloyd Expressway) from Eickhoff Road to First Avenue. The project would add a third travel lane to SR 62 in both directions from Eickhoff Road to just west of the Barker Avenue overpass. Access would be limited to interchanges and traffic signals would be eliminated. Local access roads would be needed for properties along SR 62 that would no longer have direct access. The project would displace 28 residences, 19 businesses, and one storage building. Those interested in making a statement after the presentation must sign up prior to the presentation. All comments collected before, during, and for a period of two weeks after the hearing will be evaluated and addressed, according to INDOT public hearings examiner, Mary Jackman. The environmental assessment will be available for viewing at the Evansville Urban Transportation Study office, Room 316, in the Civic Center, located at 1 N.W. Martin Luther King Boulevard. |
