Work on U.S. 67/167 to require lane closures

Continuing work on U.S. 67/167 in Pulaski and Lonoke counties will require another round of overnight lane closures beginning today, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department said.

At the same time, work on the highway’s frontage road, T.P. White Drive, in the same location will require another round of intermittent lane closures.

Crews working within the U.S. 67/167 median between Vandenberg Boulevard in Jacksonville and Arkansas 5 in Cabot will require lane closures in both directions each day through Saturday, weather permitting.

The left lane of northbound U.S. 67/167 from Vandenberg Boulevard to north of Jacks Bayou will be closed from 8 p.m. to 1 p.m. daily. The left lane southbound from Arkansas 5 to Vandenberg Boulevard will be closed between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Traffic will be controlled using signs and barrels, the department said.

Meanwhile, crews working on box culvert construction under T.P. White Drive will require the closure of multiple areas, also beginning today.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily through Saturday, again weather permitting.

The work is part of a $79.2 million project to widen 4.6 miles of the highway between Vandenberg Boulevard and Arkansas 5 to six lanes from four.
