I-30 work to shut lane near Bass Pro

A barrier wall on Interstate 30 westbound in front of Bass Pro Shops will be relocated this week, reducing traffic to two lanes within the work zone, according to the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department.

The barrier wall near the former location of Exit 128 is being relocated farther from the travel lanes to increase safety for drivers, said spokesman Danny Straessle in a news release. An earlier news release from the department said the barrier wall was being removed.

The westbound lane closure will start Wednesday night at 8 p.m. and continue until 7 a.m. Thursday morning, weather permitting. If weather prohibits the work, the closure will be delayed until Friday night.
