Hole again shuts Huffs Island Park

PINE BLUFF -- Huffs Island Park on the Arkansas River is closed for repairs until further notice, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Pine Bluff Site Office said.

A sinkhole has re-formed under an access road, making it unsafe for vehicular traffic, the Corps said. The park, which is in Lincoln County, southeast of Pine Bluff, will remain closed until the road is repaired.

In September 2015, crews closed the road but reopened it earlier this year after completing a temporary repair.

Additional information is available at the website www.swl.usace.army.mil or by phoning the Pine Bluff Site Office weekdays from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at (870) 534-4110.
