PULASKI COUNTY (11-21) – Construction to widen Interstate 630 requires overnight lane
closures in Little Rock, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT)
officials.

Weather permitting, crews will close the eastbound inside lane and westbound inside lane
between Baptist Hospital Drive (Exit 7) and University Avenue (Exit 5) to repair median
drainage grates. These lanes will be closed from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. from Monday,
November 26 through Thursday, November 29.

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 may
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 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
