I-49 lanes to close to install barriers

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

Placement of a barrier wall along the inside lane in both directions will require the inside lanes to be closed south of Southeast Walton Boulevard/West Walnut Street to Central Avenue/Arkansas 72 from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night through Saturday, weather permitting. Signs and barrels will control traffic, the department said.

The work is part of a $27.7 million project to widen I-49 to six lanes from four on a 3.5-mile section between U.S. 62/Arkansas 102 and Arkansas 72.
