Construction Requires Lane Closures on U.S. Highway 412 in Lawrence and Greene Counties

LAWRENCE & GREENE COUNTIES (5-31) – Construction work to widen U.S. Highway 412
requires lane closures in Lawrence and Greene counties, according to Arkansas Department
of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting, lanes will be closed from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through
Saturday, from Tuesday, June 4 through Saturday, June 15. Traffic on U.S. Highway 412
will be reduced to one open lane as eastbound and westbound lanes are alternately closed
in isolated areas for cross drain installation and asphalt overlay operations. The work zone
for these lane closures begins 2.5 miles east of the U.S. Highway 67 interchange and
continues to the Cache River bridge.

Traffic will be controlled by flagging operations, signage, and traffic cones. The public is
advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zone and can expect delays due to the
flagging operations and one-lane traffic.

This project (Job CA1003) is part of ARDOT’s Connecting Arkansas Program to widen
approximately 14.5 miles of U.S. Highway 412 to four lanes between U.S. Highway 67 in
Lawrence County and State Highway 141 in Greene County. The project includes a southern
bypass of the Light community. 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
