Mountainburg - State highway officials say part of U.S. 71 in northwest Arkansas will be closed for up to two weeks while contractors repair flood damage.
The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department says contractors will repair mud-slide damage from this spring's flooding. The highway is closed to all traffic just south of Lake Fort Smith State Park in Crawford County.
All traffic entering the park will have to come from the north. The nearest access roads to U.S. 71 are Arkansas 74 at Winslow and Arkansas 282 at Chester.
