Yearlong work set on dam's highway

Maintenance by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on a section of Arkansas 178 across Bull Shoals Dam will require lane closures beginning Monday and lasting until the fall of 2018, the Arkansas Department of Transportation said.

Both lanes will be closed from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, weather permitting, to allow equipment to work on the dam gates to be moved into place. During this period, one lane will remain open from 7 p.m. Monday to 8 a.m. Tuesday, the department said.

Beginning Wednesday, the section of highway will be limited to one lane of traffic until the fall of 2018. Additional closings of the highway of up to two days will be scheduled every four to eight weeks to allow equipment to be moved as work progresses, the department said.
