I-40 lane in Conway to close overnight

Bridge work will require an overnight lane closure Wednesday on Interstate 40 in Conway, Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department officials said Tuesday.

Crews will be installing a barrier wall to control traffic during the construction of a Sixth Street overpass east of the I-40 exit 127 at Oak Street, Highway and Transportation Department spokesman Jeff Whatley said in a news release.

The westbound outside lane will close from 8:30 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday, weather permitting, Whatley said.

The city of Conway is funding all of the construction project, which is a partnership between the city and the Highway Department, the department said.
