PULASKI COUNTY (02-20) – Construction to widen Interstate 630 requires westbound
lane closures in Little Rock, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT)
officials.

Weather permitting, crews will reduce westbound traffic to one open lane between Mile
Markers 4 and 7 (approximately Fair Park Boulevard and Baptist Health Drive). The center
and outside lanes will be closed from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on Thursday night,
February 21 and Friday night, February 22. These closures may move to Monday night,
February 25 depending on weather. The closures will allow crews to perform concrete
paving on I-630 in the area of John Barrow Road.

The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zone, and drivers may
consider finding alternate routes as delays may occur. Traffic will be controlled using
signage and barrels. Neighborhoods adjacent to the interstate may experience noise
impacts during nighttime hours.

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.
