ASHLEY COUNTY (9-26) – Construction to widen U.S. Highway 82 south of Hamburg in Ashley
County requires a traffic shift, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT)
officials.

Northbound and southbound lanes on Highway 82 will shift to newly constructed pavement
between County Road 22 and State Highway 52. Weather dependent, this traffic shift will occur
Saturday, September 28.

Flagging operations, pavement lines, and traffic barrels will control traffic. The public is advised
to be cautious when traveling in the work zone.

This project (Job CA0202) is part of ARDOT’s Connecting Arkansas Program and includes
widening 5.5 miles of U.S. Highway 82 to four lanes with a center paved median, from the
intersection with U.S. Highway 425 to Hamburg. More information on this $26.7 million 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 can
