Maintenance on the Interstate 55 bridge over the Mississippi River at West Memphis will require a continuing lane closure.

Arkansas highway officials said Tuesday that a southbound lane will be closed through Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. each day.

The work schedule could change if there is inclement weather.

Highway officials urge motorists to exercise caution when driving through work zones.
