Hanging steel beams to intermittently close Apple Blossom Road

SPRINGDALE -- Crews placing steel bridge beams for the U.S. 412 Northern Bypass will require closing all lanes on West Apple Blossom Avenue in Lowell for multiple 15-minute periods, according to Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department officials.

The intermittent closures will take place between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, weather permitting.

Eastbound and westbound traffic will be stopped between South Goad Springs Road and Kinkade Place.

Traffic will be controlled using signage and flaggers. The public is advised to be cautious if traveling in the work zone.

This project is part of the department's Connecting Arkansas Program and constructs approximately four miles of the four-lane bypass, which extends from Interstate 49 to Arkansas 112. The project will provide a principal east-west route north of Springdale. More information on the $100.6 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
