PULASKI COUNTY | August 4, 2023

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

Weather permitting, crews will close Tag Street at its connection with John Harden Drive Monday, August 7 through Thursday, August 10. This will allow construction crews to perform pavement removal and reconstruction. To access Tag Street, traffic can follow detour signs from John Harden Drive to N. James Street, Gregory Street, and then Johnson Street.  

Traffic will be controlled with message boards, traffic drums, and detour signs. 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.
