PRAIRIE COUNTY | July 12, 2022

ARDOT maintenance crews began maintenance work along Interstate 40 Sunday night and operations will continue for the next two weeks, excluding Fridays and Saturdays.

An inside or outside lane closure will occur on I-40 between Hazen and Biscoe (mile markers 197-202) in both eastbound and westbound directions to allow crews to perform maintenance work including patching potholes, removing trash and debris from the median barrier wall, and trimming tree branches over the outside lane and shoulder.

Crews will work from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. each Sunday through Thursday night until Thursday, July 21.

ARDOT reminds drivers to slow down and minimize distractions when moving through a work zone. Using a phone in a work zone is unlawful and can result in citations and doubled fines.
