City Announces Construction Project On Main Street, Spanning From Second Street To Fourth Street
AUGUST 17, 2023
The City of Evansville Engineering Department . The project is set to begin next week and will include rebuilding the thru lane and repairing miscellaneous failed spots in parking areas.
Work will be done in two phases:
- From Third Street to Fourth Street: August 21 until October 13
- Second Street to Third Street: October 2 until November 17
Pedestrian traffic will remain unaffected. Residents and patrons of Downtown Evansville will continue to have access to building fronts on both sides of the construction
Motorists are advised to be aware of construction signs, follow posted detour routes, and exercise caution while driving near the construction zone. Please plan for potential delays and consider alternative routes if possible.
The City of Evansville Engineering Department appreciates the community’s understanding and cooperation during this essential construction project. We believe these improvements will greatly enhance the safety and functionality of Main Street for all.
And while they’re at it, they should replace all the poorly thought-out and poorly-bedded brick pavements around the downtown medical campus with concrete or asphalt pavement that doesn’t sag or develop cavities. Hasn’t this town learned that brick pavement is prone to failure? Remember the failed brick intersections along the riverfront’s Riverside Drive, as well as the current Main Street deterioration? Does this city even recognize the need for smooth streets???
