06/15/15  The Pig Trail Is Reopened, Somewhat

 

According to the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department, one lane of Arkansas 23 near Cass has been reopened, after a hill slide last month caused the closure of a 3 mile section of the highway in Franklin County. A slope supporting the roadbed on the east side of the highway slid because of heavy rains.  The slide caused large cracks to form in both lanes of the highway. Highway department officials say it will be the end of summer  before all the work is completed and both lanes are open to traffic again.
