PULASKI COUNTY (9-8) – Improvements to Cantrell Road require significant lane closures and traffic pattern changes, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting, Friday night, September 10, crews will close both east and westbound left turn lanes on Cantrell Rd. at the Rodney Parham/River Mountain Rd. intersection. Drivers will be able to continue forward and turn right onto Rodney Parham and River Mountain Rd., but turning left will not be an option. Eastbound and westbound Cantrell traffic will be free-flowing and will not stop at the Rodney Parham intersection. This closure will allow crews to begin constructing a  bridge with embankments over Rodney Parham Rd.

• Westbound Cantrell traffic wanting to turn left onto Rodney Parham must take I-430 South to the Rodney Parham exit (Exit 8).
• Eastbound Cantrell traffic wanting to turn left onto River Mountain Rd. must continue east on Cantrell and take the designated U-turn; signage will be in place to guide drivers.
• Traffic on Rodney Parham wanting to turn left onto westbound Cantrell must turn right onto Cantrell, follow signage, and use the designated U-turn.
• Interstate 430 traffic needing to access Rodney Parham should not take the Cantrell exit. Instead, continue to the Rodney Parham exit (Exit 8).

Orange barrels, cones, message boards, and signage will control traffic. Additional travel information can be found at IDriveArkansas.com or ARDOT.gov. You can also follow us on Twitter @IDriveArkansas for traffic and @myARDOT for everything else.
