LITTLE ROCK (12-18)-The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) reminds drivers
to “know before you go” and visit IDriveArkansas.com before traveling during this end of the
year holiday.
Extensive highway improvements continue through the state. With those improvements
come work zones. To aid in your holiday travel, ARDOT has been working hard to open as
many lanes as possible. Still, travelers will likely face work zones and possible delays due to
increased traffic volume.
The American Automobile Association (AAA) predicts that more than one third of
Americans, a record breaking 112.5 million, will travel more than 50 miles from home
between Saturday, December 22 and Tuesday, January 1.
To help motorists find ways around accidents and work zone backups on Interstates, ARDOT
has an Alternate Routes feature on IDriveArkansas.com. It displays linkages between the
Interstate corridors and secondary routes that motorists may consider when travel is
delayed. You can also follow us on Twitter @myARDOT.
Below is a list of closures on Arkansas’ Primary Highway Network during the holiday
weekend. Motorists are encouraged to look at IDriveArkansas.com to find closures that are
on secondary and low traffic volume routes.
