Contractors working on the reconstruction of the Hwy 65B Interchange on Interstate 40 in Conway will require nighttime lane closures on Interstate 40 in order to paint structural steel on the new bridge.  Beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, May 16^th through Thursday, May 19^th, road crews will close one lane in each direction of I-40 between mile markers 128 and 130 until 6:00 a.m. the following morning.

During the lane closure period, all access ramps to and from Highway 65B will be open.  Work will be done as weather permits with possible inclement weather forcing the road closure schedule to be revised.   Motorists are encouraged to consider alternate routes if possible and follow all roadway signage and speed limits. 

Additional details of this and other lane closures may be found at the www.ArkansasHighways.com website where a “Daily Lane Closures” page lists continuous updates to current and upcoming lane closure locations and time frames.  The AHTD Public Affairs Office is available via phone at 501-569-2227 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., to assist motorists with construction information
