PULASKI COUNTY | February 24, 2023

Bridge work in preparation of widening Highway 67 to six lanes between Main Street and Vandenberg Boulevard requires overnight lane closures in Pulaski County.

Weather permitting, northbound and southbound lanes on Highway 67 will alternate lane closures to hang netting on overpass structures. Lanes will be closed overnight 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Tuesday night, February 28 through Thursday morning, March 2. Depending on the location, an inside or outside lane will be closed to allow crews to work.  One lane of traffic will be opened in each direction; full lane traffic stops will be minimal and for emergency purposes as needed.

Traffic will be controlled with construction barrels and signage. The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zone and watch for slower traffic speeds.

This project (Job CA0604) is part of ARDOT’s Connecting Arkansas Program and includes widening 2.5 miles of Highway 67 to six lanes, between Main Street (Exit 9) and Vandenberg Boulevard (Exit 11) in Jacksonville. The project also includes improvements at the James Street interchange (Exit 10A), the Gregory Street Interchange (Exit 10B), the Vandenberg Boulevard interchange (Exit 11), and conversion of the Frontage roads from two-way to one-way. Construction is estimated to begin in April (subject to change). More information on this $145.2 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
