FORT SMITH - The Arkansas Department of Transportation has announced a lane closure that could have an effect on commuters for the next month.
I-540 will be reduced to one lane traffic between Grand Avenue and Rogers Avenue through Friday May 31st. The construction work began at 8:00 PM last night.
The closures will allow crews to rehabilitate the bridge deck on the I-540 bridges over Free Ferry Road. The lane closures will remain in place until completion.
Traffic will be controlled with signage, concrete barrier wall, and traffic barrels. Drivers should exercise caution when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones.
