https://ardot.gov/news/26-105/

Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) has issued a news release announcing closure dates for Highway 123 Bridge Rehabilitations in Johnson County.

The Highway 123 bridge over Gee Creek is scheduled to close from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, July 20th through Friday, July 24th.

A signed detour will be in place. To reach the north side of the closure, traffic will take Highway 123 south to Highway 164, Highway 164 east to Highway 7, then Highway 7 north back to Highway 123. To reach the south side of the closure, traffic will take Highway 123 north to Highway 7, Highway 7 south to Highway 164, then Highway 164 west back to Highway 123.

Weather permitting, the closure will allow crews to perform bridge rehabilitation work. Highway 123 will remain open to local traffic only on either side of the closure.

Upcoming Closure on the Big Piney Creek Bridge:
Following completion of repairs to the Gee Creek Bridge, the Historic Big Piney Creek Bridge on Highway 123 will be closed for approximately 14 weeks for its own rehabilitation project. ARDOT will issue a separate news release announcing the specific closure dates once they are finalized.

Brady is getting the Skunk Special spa treatment this morning. Cornell university says hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and dish soap. Seems to be working, so fingers crossed!

He's bleached a little more blonde and a lot less stinky.

There’s a bad spot on the Long Pool to Twin Bridges run, anyone that has been on it lately will know what I’m talking about. We warn everybody we see, but we don’t see everyone that has their own boat. It’s not too far above the Bridges, so it’s close to the end. It’s where the bank is caving in from erosion on river right, the red clay bank. There’s a willow jungle as you enter the rapid & it’s pushing you HARD into the willows on river left. You HAVE to paddle HARD to keep from getting washed into them. It’s dangerous & there have been some very close calls on it lately. One guy with his own boat told me he thought he was going to drown yesterday. I have heard reports of people getting their clothes snagged in them & having to be rescued by someone on the Creek behind them. Even seasoned paddlers are being caught unaware of the strong current. Please spread the word. It’s no joke. BE CAREFUL! Until this is remedied in some way we will not put kids on the Creek! Please plan accordingly!
