PULASKI COUNTY (07-24) – Work to widen Interstate 630 will require a temporary,
weekend closure of Rodney Parham Road under Interstate 630 in Little Rock, according to
Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting, Rodney Parham Road will be closed Friday, July 26 at 8:00 p.m.
through Monday, July 29 at 6:00 a.m. for bridge demolition, bridge beam removal, and
associated work. Detours will direct Rodney Parham Road traffic to University Avenue to
bypass the closure (See attached map). Barricades will be used to close the road. No I-630
ramps will be affected during this closure.

Neighborhoods adjacent to the interstate may experience nighttime and daytime noise
impacts during the bridge demolition and associated work.

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
