LOWELL (2-12) – Work on the new U.S. Highway 412 Northern Bypass around the city of Springdale has progressed to a stage that requires a permanent closure of the southern section of Burrell Place in Lowell, according to Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) officials.
On Wednesday, February 17, the southern section of Burrell Place will be permanently closed. Affected residences and businesses currently served by Burrell Place will be detoured to a two-lane access road and then to the partially completed Goad Springs Access Road.
Road closure and detour signs will be placed near the midway point of Goad Springs Access Road to block traffic from the northern section of the roadway until construction of the access road is complete. The public is reminded that areas beyond the barricades are an active work zone. Moving or driving around barricades places the driver in the work zone, which endangers the driver and the contractor's employees alike.
This project is part of AHTD's Connecting Arkansas Program and constructs approximately four miles of the new four-lane U.S. Highway 412 Northern Bypass, which extends from Interstate 49 to State Highway 112. The U.S. Highway 412 Northern Bypass project will provide a principal east-west route north of the Springdale Metropolitan Area. More information on this $100.6 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
