Paving will shut lanes of U.S. 70

Work on a $78.5 million project to widen U.S. 70 between Benton and Hot Springs will require lane closings in multiple locations in Saline County through Saturday, the Arkansas Department of Transportation said.

Crews performing paving work will require flagging operations and alternate closings of the eastbound and westbound lanes of U.S. 70 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, weather permitting, at the following locations:

• East and west of Crossroads in Benton.

• East and west of Arkansas 128 at Lonsdale.

• From Saline County Road 1381 east for a half-mile.

Motorists should consider alternate routes, including U.S. 270, the department said.
