Work on Interstate 49 requires lane closures in Bentonville

4257868


     (AP) – State highway officials say construction work on

Interstate 49 will cause overnight lane closures in Bentonville beginning next

week.

     The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department says the lane

closures begin Tuesday night and will continue through the morning of Feb. 8.

     Officials with the agency say crews will begin placing a barrier wall along

the inside lane of northbound Interstate 49 beginning Tuesday evening.

     The project is part of the agency’s Connecting Arkansas Program, which

includes widening more than three miles of the interstate to three lanes in each

direction.

     Work on the near-$28 million project is expected to be finished late this

year.
