U.S. 67/167 noise-wall proposal amended

A proposal to install noise walls along U.S. 67/167 in Jacksonville has been modified in response to public input, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department said Monday. Portions of the proposed noise wall that would block the visibility of commercial properties from the highway will be removed based on comments from residents, commercial property owners and local officials at a March 9 meeting convened to discuss the noise wall, according to the department.
