There is One Less Detour In Downtown Evansville as 4th Street Reopens

Here’s a little bit of good news for drivers navigating downtown Evansville – and let’s be honest, when it comes to construction, we’ll take any good news we can get!

Fourth Street Reopens to Downtown Evansville Traffic

According to the city engineer’s office, 4th Street between Main and Sycamore is officially back open to vehicular traffic. That means you drive down that block and get a nice up-and-close look at the progress being made at The Vault.

I work downtown, so I’ve gotten used to the road closures and know the best ways to get around them. But I’ve also seen how the construction affects other people’s commute and the businesses that depend on downtown traffic. So, this reopening, even though it’s just one block, is definitely worth celebrating. It’s one less zig-zag through side streets and one less “Wait, can I turn here?” moment.

Now, you might still notice Road Closure Warning Signs posted along Fourth Street between Vine and Sycamore. Even though the street is open, those signs are still standing.
