Reminder: Riverside Drive Will be Closed for ShrinersFest

ShrinersFest is coming up, but that also means road closures. 

If you work downtown or your commute involves Downtown Evansville you know that when Riverside Drive is closed, it can cause a bit of a traffic backup, so be sure to give yourself extra time on your commute from June 17th-June 24th.

Here's what EPD says about the closure:

The Hadi Shriners will be hosting the Evansville ShrinersFest & Air Show beginning JUNE 17TH, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. and continuing until JUNE 24TH, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. This event will close Riverside Drive between Court Street & Cherry Street; Main Street between 1st Street to Riverside Drive; Walnut Street between 1st Street to Riverside Drive; Vine Street between Riverside Drive to 1st Street; Sycamore Street from 1st Street to Riverside Drive; Locust Street from 1st Street to Riverside Drive; Chestnut Street from 1st Street to Riverside Drive.

Please plan your travels accordingly to avoid delays caused by the road closures.
