GARLAND AND SALINE COUNTIES (4-26) – Asphalt work and erosion control along U.S.
Highway 70 requires limited lane closures in Garland and Saline counties, according to
Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting, the outside lane and shoulder of Highway 70 will be closed in isolated
areas between Interstate 30 and the Hot Springs Bypass. Crews will perform asphalt work
on adjacent side roads and erosion control in select areas along the highway. These areaspecific lane closures will be in affect at various times between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., on
weekdays beginning Tuesday, April 30 and continuing through Friday, May 17.

Traffic will be controlled by signage, barrels, and flagging operations. Crews will work to
limit the impact to any increased traffic using U.S. Highway 70 during the Oaklawn Racing
Season.

This project (Job CA0610) is part of ARDOT’s Connecting Arkansas Program that widened
17.5 miles of U.S. Highway 70 to four travel lanes and a continuous center turn lane. More
information on this 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
