Bike racing is returning to the north side next month.  The River City Bicycle Classic returns to Evansville on Saturday, June 8 with riders competing for $7,000 in prize money.

The River City Bicycle Classic takes cyclists through historic Garvin Park with riders taking on wide, sweeping turns.

This road criterium racecourse is a fast .7-mile loop around the lake in historic Garvin Park. The wide-open course features several turns that are ideal for racing and spectating.

EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE)- Bids are in for the next phase of the Oakhill Road Construction Project.

The City of Evansville picked one that came in $600,000 below their estimate.

The next phase calls for a number of improvements to Oakhill Road, including the construction of a continuous two-way turn lane from Pigeon Creek to Lynch Road. The city engineer says it's needed because of the driveways and businesses on this stretch of road. That way, through traffic can easily go by. The $5,000,000 project is 20 percent locally funded. The rest will come from federal funds.

"I am honored to name these schools as our Four Star Schools for this year," said Ritz. "Winning this award required excellent work by teachers, administrators, students and parents throughout the year and on behalf of the entire Indiana Department of Education I send them my sincere congratulations."
