GARLAND COUNTY | April 5, 2023

The dual left-turn lanes on Highway 227 southbound to Highway 270 eastbound are scheduled to open Friday, April 7 as part of the construction project to widen Highway 270 (Albert Pike Road) to five lanes in Garland County.

Although the new Highway 227 left-turn lanes to Highway 270 will be available beginning April 7 for use by the public, alternative routes are still encouraged as crews continue construction work in the area.

This project (Job CA0607) is part of ARDOT’s Connecting Arkansas Program and includes widening 1.5 miles of Highway 270 to five lanes and bike lanes, extending generally from Fleetwood Drive to Highway 227 in Garland County. This project also includes improvements to the interchange with Hwy. 227. More information on this $22.6 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
