PULASKI COUNTY | July 6, 2023

Construction to widen Highway 67 to six lanes between Main Street and Vandenberg Boulevard in Jacksonville requires a temporary detour of Braden Street.

Weather permitting, crews will close Braden Street at its connection with John Harden Drive Monday, July 10 through Monday, July 17. This will allow construction crews to perform pavement removal and reconstruction.

To access Braden Street, traffic can take adjacent road John Hardin Drive. Detours will be signed. See detour map NR 23-204-A for additional information.

Traffic will be controlled with message boards, traffic drums, and barricades. The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zone and watch for slower traffic speeds. Areas adjacent to the Interstate may experience noise impacts during nighttime hours. 

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.
