U.S. 278 work to shut lane in Drew County

Work on U.S. 278 will require lane closures next week in Drew County, state highway officials have said.

Crews replacing drainpipes beneath the highway about 4 miles south of the U.S. 278 intersection with the Arkansas 277/Arkansas 293 intersection between Monticello and McGehee will reduce traffic on the two-lane highway to one lane, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department said in a statement.

The lane reduction will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through July 16, weather permitting, the department said. Barrels, warning signs and flaggers will be used to control traffic.
