Motorists traveling in the area of Bull Shoals Dam will need to be prepared to find alternative routes. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports both lanes of Arkansas Highway 178 across the dam will be closed Monday and Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., weather permitting, to install equipment needed to refurbish the dam’s tainter gates.
One lane will remain closed from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. both days, and the single lane closure will continue while the rehabilitation work is expected to continue from Wednesday until the fall of 2018. Additional road closures of up to two days will be scheduled approximately every four-to-eight weeks to move equipment.
The Corps is coordinating with local emergency and law enforcement agencies on the lane closures. Those traveling in the area should expect delays, obey flagmen and operate cautiously around equipment and work crews.
For more information, contact the Corps’ Mountain Home Project Office at 870-425-2700.
