Rogers I-49 work set to close lanes

Construction on Interstate 49 will require overnight lane closures on West New Hope Road in Rogers for two days beginning today, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department said.

Crews working on the I-49 overpass at New Hope will require the alternating closure of the inside and outside lanes in both directions between South Pinnacle Hills Parkway and South Promenade Boulevard from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. both days, weather permitting. Advance warning signs will direct traffic, the department said.

The work is part of a $38.7 million project to widen a 5-mile section of I-49 to six lanes from four between New Hope and Arkansas 264 in Lowell. It is expected to be complete later this year.
