I-69 access, water safety, remembering Menahem Pressler | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

After more than 15 years of I-69 construction connecting Evansville to Indianapolis, the end is finally in sight. But for some Hoosiers, interstate construction meant loss of property and ease of access.

With recent environmental disasters threatening waterways, we ask how safe is the water source for Monroe County? Lake Monroe was created sixty years ago and also provides water for part of Brown County.

And we look back at the life of legendary pianist and IU professor Menahem Pressler, who passed away last weekend at 99.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on  Indiana Newsdesk.
