PULASKI AND LONOKE COUNTIES (04-20) – Construction work to widen U.S. Highway 67 between Jacksonville and Cabot requires multiple lane closures according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting, lanes on U.S. Highway 67 and the frontage road will require intermittent closures during the week of April 23. The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zones.

T.P. White Drive/2nd Street
The northbound and southbound lanes of T.P. White Drive/2nd Street will alternately be closed between Vandenberg Boulevard and State Highway 5. The intermittent closures will occur during daytime hours only. These closures will permit crews to place asphalt at the Pulaski and Lonoke County Line. Traffic will be controlled by flaggers and traffic barrels.

Southbound U.S. Highway 67
The outside lane of southbound U.S. Highway 67 will be closed between Jacks Bayou and Vandenberg Boulevard, reducing traffic to one open lane. The intermittent closure will occur during nighttime hours only. This closure will permit crews to remove concrete traffic barriers in preparation for a traffic shift. Traffic will be controlled by construction barrels and signage.

State Highway 5 On Ramp to Southbound U.S. Highway 67
Flaggers and traffic barrels will control traffic on the southbound U.S. Highway 67 on ramp at State Highway 5. The intermittent flagging operations will occur during daytime hours only. Crews will be milling and paving the on ramp.
