Highway 166 Bridge Reopens

 

A bigger and better U.S. 166 bridge over the Arkansas River opened at Arkansas City on Thursday.
 

It replaces a bridge built in 1937 that was 20 feet narrower than the new bridge, which is 44 feet wide including shoulders. The new bridge also will be able to handle oversize loads better. Work on the bridge began November 29th, 2018 at a cost of just over $6.3 million.

 

During the project, crews had to work around repeated flooding on and near the river, starting in December 2018 and then again in May of 2019.
