Damage to Sign Gantry Requires Shutdown of I-430 Lanes

PULASKI COUNTY (8-16) – The southbound lanes of Interstate 430 at Rodney Parham (Exit
8) will be temporarily shut down tonight just after 8:00 p.m., according to Arkansas
Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Crews will remove an overhead sign structure that was damaged as the result of an accident
that occurred earlier this afternoon at approximately 3:15 p.m. The southbound lanes of I430 must be totally closed at this location in order for staging of equipment (including
cranes) that will be used to remove signs and the overhead sign gantry.

It is estimated this work will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. No signed
detour will be available. The northbound lanes of I-430 are not expected to be
impacted by this event.


Additional information will be published through our Twitter account (@myARDOT) as it
becomes available. Motorists can monitor the delay through the Department’s Traveler
