GARLAND AND SALINE COUNTIES (6-7) – Asphalt work on U.S. Highway 70 requires lane
closures in Garland and Saline counties, according to Arkansas Department of
Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting, eastbound lanes on U.S. Highway 70 will alternately be closed daily
from Monday, June 10 through Saturday, June 15, from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastbound
lanes in multiple areas will be closed within a work zone beginning approximately 1.5 miles
west of the Highway 70 Rest Area in Garland County to a half mile west of Woodard Road in
Saline County. At least one eastbound lane of traffic will remain open during the work.

Traffic will be controlled with signage and barrels, and limited lane shifts may be in effect.
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
