 The Arkansas State Highway Commission has opened bids for improvements to a roadway in Bradley County, according to Commissioner R. Madison Murphy of El Dorado.     

The purpose of the project is to resurface selected sections of Highway 278.  The contract was awarded to R.M. Courson, Inc. of Hamburg, Arkansas, for $594,583.64.

“This resurfacing project will improve sections of Highway 278 in the city of Warren,” stated Murphy.

The project is being funded with money provided by Governor Beebe and the Legislature from the state’s General Revenue surplus. 

Murphy said work could begin on the project in six to eight weeks, weather permitting.  Completion is expected in the early fall of 2008.
