Due to dangerous road conditions caused by an ongoing winter storm, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has ordered the closure of state office buildings except for critical operations on Thursday, January 29, 2026.
State officials say the decision was made to protect the safety of employees and the public as snow, ice, and freezing temperatures continue to impact travel across much of Arkansas.
State employees who are able to telework are encouraged to do so. Agencies may also implement liberal leave policies for employees whose positions do not allow remote work.
Essential and critical operations will remain open to ensure continuity of public services, including public safety, emergency response, and essential infrastructure functions.
Motorists are urged to use caution if travel is necessary and to continue monitoring weather and road condition updates.
