Weather to dictate work on highway

Work on a $78.5 million project to widen U.S. 70 will require a lane closure on Arkansas 128 in Garland County with the precise day dependent on the weather, the Arkansas Department of Transportation said.

Crews will pave a section of Arkansas 128 from U.S. 70 north a quarter mile sometime between Monday and Saturday.

Whatever day the work is performed, it will be done between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and require both lanes to be alternately closed, reducing travel to one lane, the department said. Traffic will be controlled with flaggers.
