3679254


     Both lanes of State Highway 178 across Bull Shoals Dam will be closed from Monday morning at 7 to Tuesday evening at 7. The purpose of the closure is to install equipment needed to refurbish the tainter gates on the dam.

     Beginning Wednesday, one lane will remain closed while the rehab work is performed and is expected to continue until fall of 2017.

     Additionally, other road closures, some up to two days, will be scheduled every eight weeks to move equipment as work progresses.

     The closure of the road has been coordinated with local emergency and law enforcement agencies.

     Officials from the Army Corps of Engineers Mountain Home PRoject Office regret any inconvenience this may cause and ask motorists traveling in the area to expect delays, obey flagmen and operate cautiously around equipment and work crews.

     Anyone with questions may call the project office at 425-2700.
