MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is scheduling a full road closure for Highway 178 across Bull Shoals Dam from 6:30 a.m. on July 31 until 5 p.m. Aug. 2, 2023, to deploy and remove equipment used to perform maintenance on the dam.
USACE officials regret any inconvenience this may cause. The closure has been coordinated with local emergency and law enforcement agencies.
Please plan an alternate route through this area during the road closure. Travel to locations on Highway 178 past the Bull Shoals Dam closure will require a detour using Highway 178 and Highway 5 to Highway 126 through Midway and Gassville, Arkansas, Highway 62-412 through Flippin, Arkansas and Highway 178 through the town of Bull Shoals, Arkansas.
This will temporarily cut off the direct connection between the Bull Shoals-White River State Park James A. Gaston Visitor Center and the park camping area and marina. According to the park staff, if you plan to camp or utilize the marina and trails, go directly to the Marion County side of the park via Highway 126 through Gassville and Midway.
