PULASKI COUNTY (3-20) – Construction to widen Interstate 630 requires eastbound lane
closures in Little Rock, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT)
officials.

Weather permitting, crews will reduce eastbound traffic to one open lane from east of
University Avenue to Baptist Health Drive. The center and outside lanes will be closed
Friday, March 22 at 8:00 p.m. to Monday, March 25 at 6:00 a.m. The closures will allow
crews to place concrete for the Rock Creek bridge deck.

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. You
