Demolition work on a bridge over Interstate 49 in Benton County will require lane closures and traffic delays next week, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department announced Friday.

Crews will replace the Arkansas 264 bridge over I-49 in Lowell and construct a concrete barrier wall along the interstates southbound median shoulder beneath the overpass, the department said in a statement.

In addition to a southbound inside lane closure, northbound and southbound I-49 traffic will be stopped for 15-minute intervals during overhead demotion work to prevent objects from falling into traffic.

The delays are scheduled for Tuesday night through Wednesday morning between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., officials said.

A two-week overnight detour will begin Wednesday night, the department said. I-49 northbound and southbound traffic will be detoured to the exit 78 ramps, beginning at 10 p.m. and ending at 6 a.m. each day for two weeks.

CINCINNATI (AP) - A demolition plan for a Cincinnati highway overpass was changed hours before the structure collapsed last month, killing a worker, according to the contractor for the highway construction project.

The plan for demolishing the overpass above Interstate 75 changed after steel beams supporting the structure's concrete deck began rising during demolition the night of Jan. 18, according to Kokosing Construction Company Inc., of Columbus, Ohio.

Kokosing official John Householder said Friday that the crew implemented the changes the next afternoon, installing anchors to tie down the beams. The collapse occurred about 10:30 that night, killing Brandon Carl, of Augusta, Kentucky, and injuring a Michigan truck driver traveling on I-75.

The company said it is not uncommon for beams to lift during this type of demolition, but the crew didn't want to proceed until checking with an engineer.

"On Jan. 19, the demolition plan was reviewed by the professional engineer and an adjustment was made to address the beam uplift issue that had occurred the previous night," a company news release said.

The release accompanied demolition plan documents first obtained Thursday by The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Householder said the company is cooperating with investigators from the Ohio Department of Transportation and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration to determine the cause of the collapse.

"We don't want to speculate at this point," he said.

A Department of Transportation spokesman confirmed Friday that the agencies are still investigating.

When Australian artist Jonathan Zawada was putting the finishing touches this month on a 36-foot-by-12-foot acrylic painting that blends the natural landscape of mountains with the pixelated virtual reality of the video game world, it was not at his Los Angeles studio. And the work will not be featured in an art gallery.

Zawada was painting a wall inside the downtown Washington offices of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, the global law firm that commissioned his work for the firms new office. The yet-to-be-named artwork, which is made entirely of brightly colored triangles, takes up a wall of Pillsburys first-floor conference center and can be seen from the street through the buildings floor-to-ceiling glass windows. It is the first time that Zawada, whose artwork is typically in private collections, has created a piece for a private company.

Corporate law firms, which for many evoke images of stuffy oil paintings and oriental rugs, are increasingly home to never-before-seen works by artists who trade in light installations, lithographs and metal sculptures.

The trend is a stark contrast from a generation ago, when law partners were known to amass expensive art collections. Of course, many law firms still maintain expansive, curated collections. But increasingly, law firms are commissioning artists to create tailor-made pieces that fit the more modern architecture and aesthetics of the firms. The phenomenon is playing out at law firms across the city.

The main lobby of Covington & Burling, the Districts largest law firm and anchor tenant at CityCenter DC, will soon be home to Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diezs first major installation in the Northeast, which will incorporate natural light coming through the buildings glass walls.

McDermott Will & Emery, which in 2013 relocated its Washington office to a newly designed building on Capitol Hill, commissioned two pieces a series of 17 lithographs by New York City-based artist Peter Coffin and a 20-foot LED lightbox by Spencer Finch, the Brooklyn-based artist who was later selected to offer the only artwork commissioned for the National September 11 Memorial Museum. The lightbox Finch created for McDermott, Summer Afternoon, 1863, Washington, D.C., re-creates the afternoon sunlight at the street corner in Washington where Walt Whitman and Abraham Lincoln passed each other regularly during the summer of 1863.

Law firms went from, Okay, we have to have some things on the wall, to, We should have some nice paintings, to now, which is, Im interested in art and I want to have something that can reflect the firms vision and how we see ourselves through works of art, said Jean Efron, an art consultant who worked with McDermott and has consulted for more than 100 law firms in a 36-year career.

As that transition took place, traditional standbys such as hunting prints, botanicals and maps fell out of favor.

The shift in how law firms approach art reflects a change in how firms think about the design of their workspace and the impression they want to leave with clients and the public.

The change reflects the times, Efron said. I see firms being more interested in what younger partners would like. Theyre looking to future leadership. Years ago, one might say the senior partners might have been buying for themselves.
