PULASKI COUNTY | May 3, 2024

Construction to widen Highway 67 to six lanes between Main Street and Vandenberg Boulevard in Jacksonville requires intermittent closures of all lanes, northbound and southbound directions. These periodic lane closures will occur during overnight hours Monday, May 6 to Sunday, May 12.

Weather permitting, crews will stop northbound and southbound lanes for 15 minutes at various times between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. to hang bridge girders at N. James Street.

Traffic will be controlled with escort vehicles, message boards, signage, and traffic drums. The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zone and watch for slower traffic speeds. Areas adjacent to the interstate may experience noise impacts during nighttime hours.

This project (Job CA0604) is part of ARDOT’s Connecting Arkansas Program and includes widening 2.5 miles of Highway 67 to six lanes, between Main Street (Exit 9) and Vandenberg Boulevard (Exit 11) in Jacksonville. The project also includes improvements at the James Street interchange (Exit 10A), the Gregory Street Interchange (Exit 10B), the Vandenberg Boulevard interchange (Exit 11), and conversion of the Frontage roads from two-way to one-way. Construction is estimated to begin in April (subject to change). More information on this $145.2 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
