EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Authorities are warning drivers in Evansville to exercise caution as heavy flooding impacts sections of the Lloyd Expressway. The Vanderburgh County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) has issued an advisory for motorists, particularly in the area near Barker and Tekoppel Avenue on the city’s west side.
In a recent update, EMA officials shared a photo of the affected area, showing significant standing water on the roadway. The flooding is a result of poor drainage, which has caused water to accumulate on the expressway, posing a risk to motorists.
Local officials are urging drivers to remain vigilant and slow down while traveling through this area. Hydroplaning is a major concern, with standing water making it easier for vehicles to lose traction and control.
Authorities recommend that drivers avoid this stretch of road if possible, and seek alternate routes to ensure their safety. As the situation continues to develop, local agencies are monitoring the area and working to address the flooding concerns.
Motorists are encouraged to stay updated on road conditions through local news outlets and official channels to navigate safely through the city.
