WASHINGTON COUNTY, AR — Planned lane closures over the next few weeks may impact traffic on Highway 71B and I-49.

In addition, lane closures can be expected near log mile 40, south of the Bobby Hopper Tunnel, and near log mile 60, in the vicinity of the Cato Springs Road Interchange. The inside lane in both the northbound and southbound directions will be closed at various times for two weeks.
The lane closures will be removed when no work is being performed.
