Improvements to Highway 14 to Cause Temporary Highway Closure near Rosie

INDEPENDENCE COUNTY | August 16, 2022

Replacement of a box culvert on Highway 14 between Rosie and Oil Trough will cause a temporary closure of the highway.

Maintenance crews began work Monday morning, August 15. The closure will remain in place until the project is complete, estimated to be five working days, weather permitting.

The detour route begins at Highway 157 (Blackland Road) from the Highway 14 intersection one mile west of Oil Trough. Travel 12 miles to the intersection of Highways 157 and 167, then north for 14 miles to the intersection of Highways 14 and 167.

ARDOT reminds drivers to slow down and minimize distractions when moving through a work zone. Using a phone in a work zone is unlawful and can result in citations and doubled fines.
