Temporary lane closure of Highway 63/79 across the Arkansas River

PINE BLUFF, Ark. – One lane of the Highway 63/79 bridge across the Arkansas River will close from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. June 7 so work crews can conduct a routine bridge inspection.

Officials at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regret any inconvenience this may cause and ask for the public’s cooperation until the work is complete. Flaggers will be present to assist with the flow of traffic, but motorists should plan alternate routes and allow extra time to reach their destinations.

The closure is being coordinated with emergency services and law enforcement agencies.

For more information contact the Pine Bluff Site Office at 870-534-0451.
