PULASKI & LONOKE COUNTIES (03-08) – Construction work to widen U.S. Highway 67 between Jacksonville and Cabot requires overnight lane closures in Pulaski and Lonoke counties, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.
Weather permitting, the inside lanes of northbound and southbound U.S. Highway 67 will periodically be closed during overnight hours within the construction zone between Vandenberg Boulevard and State Highway 5. Drivers may expect various inside lane closures, beginning Sunday night, March 10. Traffic will be controlled with construction barrels and signage. Lanes may be closed during the following time periods:
- The inside lane of northbound U.S. Highway 67 will be closed from Coffelt Road to State Highway 5. The closure will occur during overnight hours from Sunday, March 10 through Saturday, March 16 between 8:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. the following day. This will permit crews to work within the center median.
- The inside lane of southbound U.S. Highway 67 will be closed from State Highway 5 to Vandenberg Boulevard. The closure will occur during overnight hours from Sunday, March 10 through Saturday, March 16 between 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. This will reduce southbound traffic to one open lane to allow removal of concrete barriers in the median.
This project (Job CA0605) is part of ARDOT's Connecting Arkansas Program and includes widening 4.6 miles of U.S. Highway 67 from Vandenberg Boulevard in Jacksonville to State Highway 5 in Cabot. The highway is being widened to three lanes in each direction. More information on this $79.2 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.
