CRAIGHEAD COUNTY (7-12) – Construction along U.S. Highway 63B (Nettleton Avenue)
between Watt Street and Central Street in Jonesboro requires temporary road closure,
according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting, crews will close Highway 63B (Nettleton Avenue) between Watt Street
and Central Street beginning Monday, July 15 at 8:00 a.m. to reconstruct the roadway.
Detours will direct traffic around this area by using alternate routes (see attached map). This
closure is anticipated to be complete by mid-August.

This work is part of a project (100824) that is constructing an overpass for State
Highway 18 over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway railroad crossing. The contract
was awarded to Capital Paving and Construction, LLC in October 2018 for the amount of
$25,182,888.88. The project is estimated to be complete early 2022.

Traffic will be controlled with signage and barricades. Drivers should exercise caution when
approaching and traveling through all highway work zones. Additional travel information
