The Arkansas Department of Transportation has been conducting work on Arkansas Highway 5 South from the City of Mountain Home to just past the City of Norfork limits and it has raised some concerns with citizens.Residents have said the biggest concern includes the area where guardrails were placed on either side of Norfork Hill.

Representative Jack Fortner sat down with KTLO, Classic Hits and The Boot News to shed some light on the situation.
