What is the status of the Deaconess Aquatic Center?
The quarantine orders haven’t stopped construction on the Deaconess Aquatic Center. With construction fencing up, crews have been able to complete excavation work and installation of stability piles for the center’s competition pool. Other work finished includes electrical and storm water piping installation, and underground piping for the pump room.
The project continues with the foundations for the pools currently underway. An opening still is expected for summer of 2021.
Will there be a new pedestrian bridge at Washington Avenue and Highway 41?
According to Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke’s office, this project is finding its footing. The Indiana Department of Transportation has begun the design and analysis process. A project championed by many community residents, the city and state have come to an agreement on cost-sharing for the project. Though it’s slated as a 2023 project, city leadership is pushing for an earlier start date if funding becomes available.
