Evansville sits at the intersection of three states—Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois—making it southwestern Indiana's economic and transportation hub. The city's location on the Ohio River has shaped its development, with major highways like I-69, Lloyd Expressway (SR 62), and US-41 radiating from the downtown core. Users can also monitor live street feeds along Main Street and Riverside Drive to check for road-level gridlock near the Ford Center or downtown casino district. The Lloyd Expressway serves as the primary commercial corridor, connecting west side retail districts with industrial areas and the airport. I-69's recent completion linked Evansville directly to Indianapolis, transforming regional connectivity. The Ohio River crossings to Henderson, Kentucky, are critical infrastructure, especially during flood season when backup routes become essential.

Indiana's newest interstate segment revolutionized Evansville's connectivity when it was completed in 2015. The highway runs 142 miles from Evansville to Indianapolis, reducing travel time by 30 minutes and opening southwestern Indiana to greater economic opportunities. Within the metro area, I-69 serves as a bypass around the city's east side, connecting SR 57 to the north with US-41 and the Lloyd Expressway.
I-69 Through Evansville
North Segment: I-69 at SR 57 → I-69 at Lynch Road → I-69 at Green River Road → I-69 at Burkhardt Road → I-69 at US-41/Morgan Avenue
Lloyd Expressway Interchange: I-69 Exit 25 (Lloyd Expressway/SR 62) → Junction with SR 62 westbound → Junction with SR 62 eastbound
South Segment: I-69 at Veterans Memorial Parkway → I-69 at SR 62 → I-69 at US-41 South
Peak traffic occurs at the Lloyd Expressway interchange during rush hours, where commuters from northern suburbs merge with cross-town traffic. The Green River Road exit also sees heavy volume due to proximity to major retail centers.
Lloyd Expressway (SR 62)
The Lloyd Expressway is Evansville's commercial backbone—a 15-mile limited-access highway running east-west across the metro area. Named after former mayor Russell Lloyd, it connects residential neighborhoods on the west side with eastern industrial zones, the airport, and regional shopping districts. High-volume segments of the Lloyd Expressway handle over 70,000 vehicles daily, making it the primary artery for cross-city travel according to INDOT traffic data.
Lloyd Expressway (SR 62)
West Section: Lloyd Expressway at Petersburg Road → Lloyd at St Joseph Avenue → Lloyd at Fielding Road → Lloyd at US-41 North
Central Section: Lloyd at Morgan Avenue → Lloyd at Barker Avenue → Lloyd at Green River Road (busiest interchange) → Lloyd at Burkhardt Road
East Section: Lloyd at I-69 → Lloyd at SR 57 → Lloyd at Heidelbach Avenue → Lloyd at US-41 South
The Green River Road intersection is consistently the metro's worst bottleneck, with traffic backing up a quarter-mile in both directions during peak hours. This area concentrates major retail, restaurants, and the Eastland Mall, creating all-day congestion that worsens during holiday shopping seasons.

View Expressway Cameras →US-41: North-South Corridor
US-41 is Evansville's historic main street—a 100-year-old highway running from Michigan's Upper Peninsula to Miami. Within Evansville, it splits into parallel north and south segments that frame the city. US-41 North (also called First Avenue) runs through downtown and continues to Terre Haute. US-41 South (also called Boonville New Harmony Road) serves industrial areas and continues to Henderson, Kentucky.
US-41 North-South Corridor
Downtown Core: US-41 at Main Street → US-41 at Riverside Drive (Casino Aztar) → US-41 at Waterworks Road → US-41 at Division Street
North Corridor: US-41 at Lloyd Expressway → US-41 at Washington Avenue → US-41 at Lincoln Avenue → US-41 at Diamond Avenue
South Corridor: US-41 South at Lloyd Expressway → US-41 at Covert Avenue → US-41 at Outer Lincoln Avenue → US-41 at Veterans Memorial Parkway
Downtown US-41 experiences heavy congestion during Ford Center events and riverfront festivals. The Casino Aztar area creates unique traffic patterns with 24-hour peak activity during weekends.
Ohio River Crossings
Two bridges connect Evansville to Henderson, Kentucky—the US-41 Twin Bridges and the SR 351 bridge. These crossings are critical infrastructure for the 60,000+ workers who commute between states daily. The US-41 bridges were built in 1932 and rebuilt in 1965, carrying four lanes of traffic high above the Ohio River. The newer SR 351 bridge (I-169 connector) opened in 2018, providing an alternative route during maintenance or flooding events.
Bridge Closure Alerts
During Ohio River flooding, bridge approaches can close when water reaches flood stage (38 feet at Evansville gauge). Monitor INDOT cameras at both crossings when river levels exceed 35 feet. High water also affects Riverfront Parkway access to downtown.
Winter ice storms can make bridge decks treacherous—temperatures on the river are typically 5-10 degrees colder than in-town roads. INDOT treats bridges first during weather events, but delays of 30+ minutes are common during heavy ice.
Rush Hour Patterns
Evansville's morning rush peaks between 7:00-8:30 AM with heaviest congestion on eastbound Lloyd Expressway as west side residents commute to downtown offices and east side industrial parks. The Green River Road interchange is consistently the worst bottleneck, with backups extending to Burkhardt Road.
Worst Congestion Times
Lloyd Expressway at Green River Road is the metro's #1 bottleneck. Eastbound delays peak 7:15-8:00 AM (15-20 min backups). Westbound delays peak 4:45-5:45 PM (10-15 min backups). The average one-way commute for Evansville residents is approximately 20.9 minutes, which remains shorter than the national average, though these major bottlenecks can significantly extend travel times. Alternative: Use Veterans Memorial Parkway or SR 57 to bypass.
Afternoon rush runs 4:30-6:00 PM with westbound Lloyd Expressway and northbound US-41 seeing the heaviest volumes. Downtown clearance is quick except during Ford Center events, which can add 30-45 minutes to commutes when shows let out.

View Current Traffic →Weather and Seasonal Impacts
The Ohio Valley's humid continental climate creates unique traffic challenges. Spring and fall bring severe thunderstorms with flash flooding—low-lying areas near the river and along Pigeon Creek can flood within 30 minutes during heavy rain. Summer heat creates pavement buckling on older sections of US-41.
Ohio Valley Flooding & Severe Weather
River Flooding: Monitor Ohio River levels at weather.gov/pah. Flood stage is 35 feet, with major flooding at 42+ feet closing bridge approaches and Riverfront Parkway. Traffic Safety: Vanderburgh County records over 4,000 car accidents annually, with the Lloyd Expressway and US 41 frequently cited as the region's most hazardous routes. Severe Thunderstorms: Evansville sits at the edge of "Tornado Alley"—damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes are common March-June.
Ice Storms: Winter brings freezing rain events that shut down highways—bridges ice first, with I-69 ramps especially dangerous. Fog: River valley fog reduces visibility to near-zero October-February, especially early morning on Ohio River bridges.
INDOT treats roads aggressively during winter weather, but ice storms can shut down highways for 6-12 hours until temperatures rise above freezing. The 2009 ice storm left I-69 closed for 18 hours.
Events and Special Traffic
Ford Center downtown hosts 150+ events annually including minor league hockey, concerts, and conventions. Events create 30-minute delays on US-41 and downtown streets when 10,000+ attendees arrive or depart. Parking congestion extends to Riverfront Parkway.
Casino Traffic: Casino Aztar (now Tropicana Evansville) operates 24/7, creating steady traffic on Riverside Drive and US-41. Weekend nights see heaviest volumes, with backups extending to the Lloyd Expressway interchange during special promotions.
University of Evansville: Fall and spring semesters create morning traffic on Lincoln Avenue and Weinbach Avenue as 2,500 students commute to campus. Move-in weekend in August causes temporary congestion near the east side campus.
Thunder on the Ohio: The annual hydroplane racing event in late June draws 100,000+ spectators to the riverfront, closing Riverside Drive and overwhelming downtown parking. US-41 and Main Street experience delays throughout the weekend.
Regional Connections
Indianapolis: I-69 north 140 miles (2 hours 15 minutes) connects Evansville to the state capital. Monitor cameras at Washington, Bloomington, and Martinsville for construction and weather delays.
Henderson, Kentucky: US-41 Twin Bridges cross the Ohio River (5 minutes). Bridge traffic peaks during Kentucky Derby week in May when regional visitors pass through.
Owensboro, Kentucky: US-60 east via Henderson 30 miles (40 minutes) connects to western Kentucky's second-largest city. Limited camera coverage on rural sections.
Terre Haute: US-41 north 80 miles (1 hour 30 minutes) passes through rural southwestern Indiana. Few cameras between Vincennes and Terre Haute—check weather forecasts before travel.
Louisville, Kentucky: I-69 south to Owensboro then I-165/US-60 east 115 miles (2 hours) provides an alternative to I-64 through southern Indiana.
