Arkansas highway department to inspect bridge

HOT SPRINGS — The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department says crews will be inspecting a bridge in Hot Springs and that will mean a lane shift on a major thoroughfare through the city for a time.

The department says the routine inspection of the bridge on Highway 70 on Wednesday will require traffic in the westbound lane of Highway 70 to shift to the shoulder from approximately 9 a.m. until about 3 p.m. — weather permitting.

The bridge is located just east of the Martin Luther King Expressway.
