CREWS ARE NEARING COMPLETION OF A NEW RAILROAD OVERPASS ON HIGHWAY 18 IN JONESBORO. THE OVERPASS WILL CROSS OVER THE BNSF RAILROAD TRACKS NEXT TO NETTLETON AVENUE.

“We have a lot going on at the job site,” Aaron Vowell, Staff Engineer in RE Office 06, stated in August. “Wall panels and embankment work are underway and we hope to have beams arriving soon so that deck work can begin. I’d say we are approximately 75% through the project with an estimated completion date of early 2022.” Approximately 10,000 vehicles per day travel Highway 18 through the area.

The project was awarded to Capital Paving and Construction, LLC in late 2018 for $25.1 million. 
