LITTLE ROCK (6-4) – Moving construction materials across Highway 112 in Springdale will require temporary traffic stops, according to Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) officials.
A temporary road crossing will be utilized north of Carrie Smith Road. The work will require short, intermittent stoppages of traffic while construction equipment crosses the highway. Steel plates will be laid on the highway to prevent pavement damage.
The traffic stops will occur Monday through Saturday between 7:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., beginning Wednesday, June 10th and continuing for approximately five weeks, weather permitting. Traffic will be controlled using flaggers and warning signs.
This project is part of AHTD's Connecting Arkansas Program and constructs approximately 4 miles of the four-lane Highway 412 on new alignment, extending from Interstate 49 to Highway 112. The Highway 412 Bypass will provide a principal east-west route north of the metropolitan area. More information on this $100.6 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
Motorists should exercise caution when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones. Additional travel information can be found at IDriveArkansas.com or ArkansasHighways.com. You can also follow us on Twitter @AHTD.
