ASHLEY COUNTY (9-11) – Construction to widen U.S. Highway 82 south of Hamburg in Ashley County requires lane closures on the highway, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Northbound and southbound lanes on Highway 82 will alternately be closed in various locations within the project's work zone, from the intersection with U.S. Highway 425 to the Hamburg High School. Weather dependent, these lane closures will continue through Saturday, September 28 to allow crews to perform asphalt paving operations.

Partial lane closures will be used to maintain traffic flow. Traffic will be controlled by flaggers. The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zone, and delays may occur during morning and afternoon commutes.

This project (Job CA0202) is part of ARDOT's Connecting Arkansas Program and includes widening 5.5 miles of U.S. Highway 82 to four lanes with a center paved median, from the intersection with U.S. Highway 425 to Hamburg. More information on this $26.7 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.

Drivers should exercise caution when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones. Additional travel information can be found at IDriveArkansas.com or ARDOT.gov. You can also follow us on Twitter @myARDOT.
