Good morning, Evansville.
Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry announced the city will host its second annual Summer Resource Fair for youth and teens on Sunday, April 27 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Pagoda, 401 SE Riverside Dr.—the event will link local youth with summer camps, educational programs, and job opportunities.
The Indiana Department of Transportation will repair potholes on Evansville’s west side near Posey County Line Road starting on or after April 23 until April 24.
Commuters should expect delays in the morning as crews work from 4 a.m. until 2 p.m. each day — officials say.
City officials said Riverside Drive is closed in both directions at Chestnut Street because high river levels let water flow under the road.
