PULASKI COUNTY (8-30) – 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 conduct the work. Exit ramps will not be impacted during this lane-closure period.
- Tuesday, September 4 to Thursday, September 6, 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., nightly
- Friday, September 7, at 8:00 p.m. to Saturday, September 8, 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.
There will be no lane closures Friday night, August 31 through Tuesday morning,
September 4 for the Labor Day holiday weekend.
