Dam Closure Updates
MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. --
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is scheduling a full road closure for Highway 178 across Bull Shoals Dam from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. March 10 through March 12, and March 18 through March 19, 2026, for conduit maintenance on the dam.
The closure has been coordinated with local emergency and law enforcement agencies. USACE recognizes the inconvenience this temporary closure may cause, and we are committed to completing the necessary work at Bull Shoals Dam as efficiently and safely as possible to ensure this critical infrastructure continues serving the public reliably for years ahead.
Please plan an alternate route through this area during the road closure. Travel to locations on Highway 178 past the Bull Shoals Dam closure will require a detour using Highway 178 and Highway 5 to Highway 126 through Midway and Gassville, Arkansas, Highway 62-412 through Flippin, Arkansas and Highway 178 through the town of Bull Shoals, Arkansas.
