BAXTER COUNTY | August 30, 2023

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be performing intermittent closures of Highway 177 across Norfork Dam for approximately two months beginning Friday, September 1 to perform routine maintenance.

The northbound lane of Highway 177 will close from 6:30 a.m. Friday, September 1 through 5 p.m. Wednesday, November 1. Traffic lights will be present to assist with the flow of traffic, but motorists should plan for additional travel time.

Intermittent full closures are tentatively scheduled for the following dates:

• Sept. 11 through Sept. 14, 2023
• Sept. 25 through Sept. 27, 2023
• Oct. 16 through Oct. 19, 2023
• Oct. 30 through Nov. 1, 2023

Additional news releases will be sent out prior to the full road closures once the exact dates and times have been confirmed.

The closures are being coordinated with emergency services and law enforcement agencies. Traffic will use a detour during the full road closures.

Travel to locations southbound on Highway 177 past the Norfork dam closure will require a detour using Highway 5 through Norfork, then Baxter County Road #64 north back to Highway 177 at Jordan.

Northbound travelers on Highway 177 will need to take the detour around the dam on Baxter County Road #64 south from Jordan to Highway 5 south of Norfork.
