This from the C.O.E.

The Corps of Engineers announced Monday that it will close both lanes of AR Highway 178 across Bull Shoals Dam from 8:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. Dec. 30 and Dec. 31 to remove equipment needed to refurbish the tainter gates on the dam.

The equipment is being removed because of the recent persistent rain and rising lake levels, according to the press release issued by the Corps.

The closure has been coordinated with local emergency and law enforcement agencies.

Officials from the Army Corps of Engineers Mountain Home Project Office say they regret any inconvenience this may cause. If you are traveling in this area, expect delays, obey flagmen and operate cautiously around equipment and work crews.
