NEW DATE SET FOR TEMPORARY CLOSING OF BRIDGE ACROSS GREERS FERRY DAM
HEBER SPRINGS, Ark., Feb. 9 – A new date has been set for the temporary closing of the Highway 25 Bridge across Greers Ferry Dam. The work is now scheduled to occur on Saturday, March 7. The bridge will remain open on the previously announced dates of Feb. 14 and Feb. 28.
The one-day bridge closure, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., is scheduled because upcoming maintenance work on the dam requires a large crane to work from the bridge. If inclement weather prevents crews from working on the 7th, an alternate date for the work will be March 14.
The alternative traffic route remains Highways 16 and 92 around the west 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 closings and allow extra time to reach their destinations.
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.
