LANE CLOSURES SCHEDULED FOR TWO HIGHWAY 67/167 PROJECTS

    LITTLE ROCK (4-26) Crews working on two Highway 67/167 projects will require lane closures next week, according to Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) officials.

     Weather permitting, crews will shift southbound traffic between Kiehl and Wildwood in Sherwood overnight on Tuesday, May 1. Work will begin at 6:00 p.m. and be completed by 6:00 a.m. the next morning.

     North of Sherwood, crews working on Highway 67/167 between Highway 440 and Redmond Road will close a northbound lane on two consecutive nights to move traffic. The closure will be between 7:00 p.m. and Noon on both Wednesday, May 2 and Thursday, May 3.
