BENTON COUNTY (4-24) – Construction on Interstate 49 requires overnight lane closures on New Hope Road, according to Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) officials.
Beginning Wednesday night, April 26, crews will be working on the I-49 overpass at New Hope Road (Exit 83). The closure will alternately close inside and outside lanes of eastbound and westbound New Hope Road between South Pinnacle Hills Parkway and South Promenade Boulevard.
The lane closures will occur nightly between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., beginning Wednesday night April 26 and ending Friday morning, April 28, weather permitting. Advance warning signs will direct traffic flow.
This project (Job CA0901) is part of AHTD's Connecting Arkansas Program and includes widening 5 miles of I-49 to three lanes in each direction. The work extends from Highway 264 in Lowell to New Hope Road in Rogers, and it is expected to complete in late 2017. More information on this $38.7 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 ArkansasHighways.com. You can also follow us on Twitter @AHTD.
