Road Paving List

0

The City of Evansville will spend approximately $7.8 million to pave and improve city roadways in 2025, and another $2.25 million to make them safer.

The paving funds are a mix of city budget dollars and Community Crossing grants from the State of Indiana, while the safety projects will be funded by a Highway Safety Improvement Program grant from the Indiana Department of Transportation. All of this will allow the City Engineer’s office to move forward on re-striping city roadways, improving visibility on city traffic signals and undertake several paving projects throughout the city.

“We are aware that there are many roads in Evansville in need of significant repair,” Mayor Terry said. “We drive those roads, and we hear about those roads regularly from drivers who are rightly concerned about road conditions.

“Unfortunately, this is an issue that has been building for years, and even in increasing our own budget allocation– and continuing to receive Community Crossing grant funds from the state – we simply do not have the funds to fully address it today. But we will continue doing everything we can to improve road conditions and to ensure that Evansville’s roads are safe to drive.”

Every 3-5 years, the Metropolitan Planning Organization creates a Road Pavement Index, which scores every road in Evansville based on its condition. The City Engineer’s office then uses this data in determining which roads to pave each year – a decision made based on:

  • The condition of the road
  • The amount of traffic using the road, and
  • The speed limit on the road
  • In 2025, the following roads are scheduled for paving:
