SPRINGDALE — Paving work on Interstate 49 requires overnight lane closings most of next week, according to Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department officials.
Beginning tonight, crews will place asphalt on lanes between the Elm Springs Road interchange, Exit 73, and Spring Creek Bridge, Mile Marker 75, south of Wagon Wheel Road, Exit 76.
The overnight lane closings will start Sunday and end Thursday morning, weather permitting. The inside and outside lanes will alternately be closed north and south. Traffic will be controlled using signs and barrels.
• North I-49 lane closings will occur between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
• South I-49 lane closings will occur between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
The project is part of AHTD’s Connecting Arkansas Program and includes widening 3.4 miles of I-49 to three lanes in each direction. The work extends from U.S. 412 to Wagon Wheel Road in Springdale.
