Imagine what it'll be like when closing a lane in either direction for construction?

I experienced it about 11 years ago driving back from Tennessee when they were widening the White River bridge. The backup stretched from the bridge all the back to the Brinkley exit. And this was on a Sunday in mid-June.

It doesn't matter what day of the week with that stretch. It's mostly interstate traffic, so the bulk isn't made up of commuters anyway. May get a little slower at night with truckers pulling off to sleep, but during daylight hours, it doesn't seem to matter much.

Used to hop off at Brinkley WB thru DeValls Bluff and rejoin I40 at Hazen. ArDOT even resurfaced 70 because of all the extra traffic.

Hence why it has become a default route for many truckers.
