The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will close Highway 178 across Bull Shoals Dam on several days in March to allow crews to perform conduit maintenance on the dam.
The road will be fully closed Tuesday through Thursday, March 10-12, and again Wednesday and Thursday, March 18-19, from 8 until 4:30 each day.
The Corps of Engineers says the closure has been coordinated with local emergency and law enforcement agencies. Officials say the temporary shutdown is necessary to complete maintenance work that helps ensure the long-term reliability and safety of the dam.
Motorists traveling in the area are advised to plan alternate routes during the closures. Access past the dam will require a detour using Highway 178 and Highway 5 to Highway 126 through Midway and Gassville, Highway 62-412 through Flippin and Highway 178 through the town of Bull Shoals.
