Avoid downtown this Friday

The inside lanes of Central Avenue in Hot Springs, from the 100 block to the 300 block, will be temporarily closed from 3 a.m. until 6:30 a.m. on Friday, October 12 in order for Parks & Recreation personnel to remove the hanging flower baskets from the historic lampposts throughout downtown.  Traffic cones and safety lighting will be used.  Motorists are advised to use extreme caution when traveling through the project area.
