Lloyd Expressway

The Lloyd Expressway is a major east–west traffic artery located in Vanderburgh County, Indiana.

For a short stretch, Division Street ran in tandem with a busy railroad track.

The west section of the expressway was completed in the 1950s, ending at Fulton Avenue with plans to continue it further east at a later date.

It wasn't until the 1970s and 80s that local officials succeeded in securing federal funding to finish construction.

Key to this effort was popular Evansville mayor Russell G. Lloyd, Sr., who was assassinated in 1980 after he had left office.

Because the route includes several at-grade intersections with stoplights, Evansville residents sometimes use the term "expressway" derisively, or drop it altogether and call it "the Lloyd" instead.
