The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has placed a temporary full road closure over the Norfork Dam until Wednesday. Both lanes of Arkansas Highway 177 over the dam will be closed until Wednesday evening at 5 p.m.
According to the Corps, crews will install equipment for maintaining the dam’s sluice gates. The closure has been coordinated with local emergency and law enforcement agencies.
During the closure, travel to locations on Highway 177 south of the Norfork Dam will require using Arkansas Highways 5 and 56 through Calico Rock and Arkansas Highway 223 through Pineville. Motorists are urged to plan around the closing and allow extra time to reach their destinations.
