PULASKI COUNTY (05-27) – The placement of permanent pavement markings on Interstate 630 will require daytime lane closures in Little Rock, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.
Crews will alternately close the middle and outside lanes of eastbound and westbound I-630 between Baptist Health Drive (Exit 7) and University Avenue (Exit 5) to allow for the work. Some striping will also include areas on I-430 within the Big Rock Interchange footprint between Shackleford Drive and Rodney Parham Road. Weather permitting, this work will occur Wednesday, May 27 through Friday, June 5, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m daily.
Traffic will be controlled with construction barrels and signage. The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zone and watch for slower traffic speeds.
This project (Job CA0608) is part of ARDOT's Connecting Arkansas Program, which is funded through a 10-year, half-cent sales tax. Interstate 630 has been widened for 2.2 miles between the Big Rock Interchange and University Avenue. The widening was substantially complete in early April 2020. More information on this $87.4 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
Drivers should exercise caution when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones. Additional travel information can be found at IDriveArkansas.com or ARDOT.gov. You can also follow us on Twitter @myARDOT.
