Work on the projects will start in February.
CRAIGHEAD COUNTY (1-27) – Interchange improvements for the Interstate 555 and Red Wolf Boulevard (Highway 49) will begin in February, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.
Installation of the new loop ramps will increase safety by eliminating left turns across oncoming traffic at Red Wolf Blvd. This means that:
Ø Northbound I-555 Motorist wanting to go south on Red Wolf Blvd. will travel under the overpass and continue around the loop until they yield to Red Wolf Blvd. traffic going southbound.
Ø Likewise, southbound I-555 Motorist wanting to go north on Red Wolf Blvd. will travel under the overpass and continue around the loop until they yield to Red Wolf Blvd. traffic going northbound.
