Crews will close westbound lanes on I-40 near the Dave Ward Interchange today at 10 p.m. to install new overhead sign structures—each lane will close for no more than 15 minutes at a time until work ends at 6 a.m. Saturday.

Little Golden Gate Bridge on Highway 187 over the White River reopened today after its August 6 closure for a routine inspection that found a structural deficiency in a primary steel girder.
