PULASKI COUNTY (7-27) – Construction to widen Interstate 630 requires overnight lane
closures in Little Rock, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT)
officials.

Weather permitting, crews will reduce I-630 traffic to one open lane in each direction during
overnight hours between Baptist Hospital Drive (Exit 7) and University Avenue (Exit 5).
Eastbound and westbound center and outside lanes will be closed during the following hours
to set temporary barrier walls and remove pavement corrugations along the shoulders.

• Sunday night, July 29, from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
• Monday, July 30 to Thursday, August 2 from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., nightly
• Friday, August 3, from 9:00 p.m. to Saturday, August 4, midnight
  

Traffic will be controlled using signage and barrels. During daytime travel peak hours, all six lanes on I-630 will be open to traffic. Neighborhoods adjacent to the interstate will experience noise impacts during nighttime hours. The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zones.

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 is being widened to four lanes in eachdirection (eight total) for 2.2 miles between the Big Rock Interchange and University Avenue. The widening is estimated to be complete in early 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
