ARDOT erects pylons for County Road 139 overpass over Future I-57

Koss Construction Company, a group contracted by the Arkansas Department of Transportation has completed the three concrete pylons for the County Road 139 overpass over Future I-57. This construction is part of the larger Corning Bypass Project (Job No. 101172) which started in February of this year which is expected to be completed by mid-2027. County Road 139 was the road chosen from input given at the public meeting that ARDOT held on March 14, 2024, at the M.B. Ainley, Jr. Community Center to create an overpass for local traffic. County Road 143 meanwhile will soon dead end where the new road intersects with it. Utility companies have been busy both west and north of Corning relocating their lines around where the interchanges with US 67 will be built.

But Paul already told me a long time ago that I can go fishing with him anytime and that he knows several places where the big ones are. So, who knows, the three of us might take off some day and come back in with enough fish to open a fresh fish market! Also, I hope to get down to Corning Lake for a day of fishing with friend Pat Magee this fall.
