Evansville grants conditional approval for Eulehorn Street closure for water‑main extension with truck accommodations

The City of Evansville Board of Public Works on June 12 conditionally approved right‑of‑way permit application 2190, which proposes a street closure and a water‑main extension in the eastbound lane of Eulehorn Street. City engineering staff asked the board to approve the permit subject to roadway improvements to accommodate large semitrailers serving a nearby grain terminal.

"Our office would like the board to consider a conditional approval on this one," a City of Evansville engineering staff member said, describing outreach to the grain terminal operator and a proposed truck reroute. City staff and contractor Chris Brown said trucks would be directed north on Fulton Street to Keller Street and then east on Keller; the city would expand a turn radius at Third Avenue (near Eulehorn) and place surfacing material so the trucks can make the turn to reach the terminal.

Staff said the water‑main extension will start south of the Third Avenue intersection on the west side of the building and extend roughly 238 feet. The work was described as a water‑main extension required for a 10‑inch sprinkler service for Uniseal; the contractor present identified himself as Chris Brown of Trailer Building and said the lot owner at Superior Concrete has provided written permission for necessary temporary use of adjacent property.

The board approved the permit with the stated conditions to accommodate truck movement and required site‑specific maintenance of traffic procedures per the Indiana Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The transcript records the approval by voice vote.

Details that were not specified in the meeting record include contract numbers, project schedule, and the contractor's full scope documents.
