PULASKI & LONOKE COUNTIES (7-18) – Construction on U.S. Highway 67 in Pulaski and
Lonoke counties requires a northbound lane shift onto newly constructed pavement,
according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

To continue with the highway widening, northbound traffic will be moved from existing
alignment onto newly constructed lanes between Vandenberg Boulevard in Jacksonville and
State Highway 5 in Cabot. Weather permitting; this lane shift will occur Thursday, July 19
at 7:00 p.m. to Friday, July 20 at 6:00 a.m.

During the traffic shift operation, the northbound on-ramp at Vandenberg Boulevard and the
northbound off-ramp at State Highway 5 will be closed for a short period to allow the
contractor to re-align barrier walls and place pavement markings. On-ramp traffic will
utilize the frontage road up to Highway 5 before entering Highway 67. Off-ramp traffic to
Highway 321 (Highway 5 East) will utilize the Highway 89 off ramp and circle back to
Highway 5 as needed. Traffic will be controlled using traffic barrels and message boards. The
public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zones.

This project (Job CA0605) is part of ARDOT’s Connecting Arkansas Program and includes
widening 4.6 miles of U.S. Highway 67 from Vandenberg Boulevard in Jacksonville to State
Highway 5 in Cabot. The highway is being widened to three lanes in each direction. More
information on this $79.2 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.

Drivers should exercise caution when approaching and traveling through all highway work
zones. Additional travel information can be found at IDriveArkansas.com or ARDOT.gov. You
