WORK ON GREERS FERRY DAM TO CLOSE ARKANSAS HIGHWAY 25 BRIDGE
FOR ONE DAY IN FEBRUARY
HEBER SPRINGS, Ark., Jan. 12 – Upcoming maintenance work on Greers Ferry Dam will require the Arkansas Highway 25 Bridge across the dam to be closed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 14. Alternative routes will be Highways 16 and 92 around the west side of the lake and Highway 110 and Dry Mountain Road around the east side of the lake.
The closure has been coordinated with local emergency and law enforcement agencies. Officials from the Army Corps of Engineers Greers Ferry Project Office said they regret any inconvenience this may cause. They ask motorists to drive slowly on the alternate routes because some drivers may not be familiar with the roads. Also, they urge motorists to plan around the closing and allow extra time to reach their destinations.
During the work, crews will use a crane atop the bridge to prepare the sluice gate so seals can be replaced at a future date. If inclement weather prevents crews from working on the 14th, an alternate date for the work will be Feb. 21.
For more information, please contact the Greers Ferry Project Office at (501) 362-2416, or stop by the office located near the dam on Highway 25, three miles north of Heber Springs.
