Crews placing bridge beams over Interstate 49 in Benton County will require closing all southbound lanes for multiple 15-minute periods overnight beginning Wednesday and lasting into next week, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department said.
The brief, periodic lane closings between Wagon Wheel Road in Springdale and Arkansas 264 in Lowell will take place between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. daily through Saturday and continuing July 24 through July 29.
Traffic control will be handled by the Arkansas State Police, the department said. Traffic will be stopped prior to the exits to allow vehicles to exit.
Advance warning signs will be placed to notify traffic approaching the closings, but the department said motorists should find alternate routes to avoid them.
The work is part of a $100.6 million project to build a 4-mile section of the U.S. 412 northern bypass from Interstate 49 to Arkansas 112.
