LITTLE ROCK (6-27) – The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) reminds drivers to
“know before you go” and visit IDriveArkansas.com before traveling during this Independence Day
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.

Overall travel volume for the holiday is expected to rise 4.1% over last year, according to the American
Automobile Association (AAA). The AAA predicts that more than 41 million Americans will travel by
automobile between Wednesday, July 3 and Sunday, July 7.

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.
