Highway 178 across the Bull Shoals Dam will be closed to all traffic for three consecutive days next week as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducts maintenance and equipment testing.
The planned closure will occur from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. During this time, engineers will be removing bulkheads and testing related systems. The Corps has coordinated this closure with local emergency services and law enforcement to ensure public safety.
Drivers are strongly encouraged to plan alternate routes while the section of Highway 178 is inaccessible. For traffic needing to bypass the closure, detours will be available via Highway 5 to Highway 126 through Midway and Gassville, as well as Highway 62-412 through Flippin and Highway 178 through Bull Shoals.
For additional details, motorists can contact the Mountain Home Project Office at 870-425-2700.
