PULASKI COUNTY (8-6) – Construction to widen Interstate 630 requires overnight lane
closures on Rodney Parham Road in Little Rock, according to Arkansas Department of
Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting, crews will reduce Rodney Parham Road to one open lane in each
direction during overnight hours between Rushing Cir. and S Mississippi Ave. to allow the
contractor to work on the I-630 overpass of Rodney Parham Road. The outside lanes in either
direction will be closed nightly from Tuesday night, August 7 through Friday morning,
August 10, from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.

Traffic will be controlled using traffic barrels, traffic barricades, and flaggers. If an additional
night of work is needed, it will occur Sunday night, August 12. 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 each
direction (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
