Improvements to Interstate 40 will require a traffic shift in Monroe County, according to Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) officials. Crews are reconstructing 3.8 miles of Interstate 40, west of Brinkley. The work will reduce westbound traffic to one lane between Bayou DeView and the Cache River (mile marker 205-210). Eastbound will continue to have two lanes.
The traffic shift will begin Tuesday, August 19th and is expected to continue for one month, weather permitting. Traffic will be controlled using barrels, a barrier wall and warning signs. Motorists should exercise caution when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones.
