I-49 lanes to close for barrier project

Construction on Interstate 49 in Rogers and Lowell will require overnight lane closures for three nights beginning Monday, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department said.

Crews will be removing and relocating concrete barrier walls on I-49 from West Monroe Avenue/Arkansas 264 to Pleasant Grove Road. The work will require the inside and outside lanes to be alternately be closed each night through Thursday, weather permitting.

The northbound lane closures will take place between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., while the southbound lane closures will occur between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Traffic will be controlled using signs and barrels, the department said.

The work is part of a $38.7 million project to widen 5 miles of I-49 to six lanes from four lanes between Arkansas 264 in Lowell and New Hope Road in Rogers.
