HEBER SPRINGS, Ark. – Maintenance work on Greers Ferry Dam will
require the Arkansas Highway 25 Bridge across the dam to close from 7 a.m.
to
7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 3. In the event of inclement weather the alternate
date is scheduled for Saturday, Oct.10. The detour routes are Arkansas
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.
During the work, crews will use a crane atop the bridge to remove a bulkhead
that facilitated repairs on a sluice gate earlier this year.
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.
