BENTON COUNTY (8-24) – Asphalt work on Interstate 49 will require lane closures in
Springdale and Lowell, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT)
officials.

Weather permitting, lanes on I-49 will be closed overnight between Wagon Wheel Road
(Exit 76) in Springdale and State Highway 264 (Exit 78) in Lowell. Due to weather conditions,
these closures have been extended through Friday, August 31 and will occur during
overnight hours from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The inside lanes of northbound and southbound I-49 will alternately be closed to allow the
contractor to work on the asphalt pavement. Traffic will be controlled using traffic barrels
and warning signs. Traffic will be restored daily by 6:00 a.m.

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
