Construction Requires Lane Closures on Interstate 49 in Benton County

BENTON COUNTY (8-10) – 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. These closures will occur
8 p.m. to 6 a.m. between Monday, August 13 and Friday, August 17.

The inside lanes of northbound and southbound I-49 will alternately be closed to allow the

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
