SPRINGDALE -- Bridge construction associated with the U.S. 412 Northern Bypass in Springdale will require street and pedestrian/biking trail width reductions where the new bypass crosses local roads in Springdale and Lowell, according to Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department officials.
Beginning Wednesday and continuing into summer 2017, lane widths on Silent Grove Road and Goad Springs Street will be reduced to allow the Razorback Greenway to shift onto the roadway surface. The trail width also will be restricted within the construction area. Barrier walls will be placed on both sides of the trail to protect users.
Signs will be placed at each end of the construction zone to inform trail users, and advance warning signs will be placed to notify traffic approaching the work zone.
The project is part of AHTD's Connecting Arkansas Program and constructs about 4 miles of the new four-lane U.S. 412 Northern Bypass, which extends from Interstate 49 to Arkansas 112. The bypass project will provide a principal east-west route north of the Springdale metropolitan area. More information on the $100.6 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
