Extended road closures on Highways 77 and 140 in Mississippi County throughout October

Manila, Arkansas – Residents and commuters in the Manila and Keiser areas are advised to prepare for extended road closures on Highways 77 and 140 through Wednesday, October 23. These closures are due to necessary bridge replacement work that had previously been delayed because of adverse weather conditions.

The construction efforts will focus on replacing aging bridge structures. Specifically, the project will address the bridge on Highway 77 located just south of Highway 18, and another on Highway 140 just east of Highway 181. This vital infrastructure work is essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of these routes.

To accommodate local residents and maintain access to properties, areas immediately adjacent to the work zones will remain open to local traffic. However, through traffic will need to follow designated detours that reroute via Highways 18, 181, and 158. Detailed detour maps and additional information are available to assist drivers in navigating around the construction areas.

Motorists are encouraged to exercise caution and adhere to all traffic control measures, including barrels and signage strategically placed to guide and protect both drivers and construction crews. The local authorities urge drivers to plan their routes ahead of time and allow extra travel time to accommodate these changes.

For updates on this and other traffic advisories, travelers can visit IDriveArkansas.com or ARDOT.gov, where they can find real-time information about road conditions and closures. By staying informed and prepared, residents can navigate these disruptions with minimal inconvenience and continue their daily activities safely and efficiently.
