SALINE COUNTY (11-08) – Construction to widen Interstate 30 to six lanes in Saline County
requires intermittent stoppages of traffic at the eastbound U.S. Highway 70 on-ramp to
westbound I-30, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting, traffic using the Highway 70 on-ramp to westbound I-30 will be stopped for
periods up to 10 minutes while crews stripe pavement and place temporary barrier wall. This
work will occur Tuesday, November 12, between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.

Traffic will be controlled with flagging operations, construction barrels and signage. The
Arkansas Highway Police will also assist during the stoppages of traffic. The public is advised to
be cautious when traveling in the work zone. Areas adjacent to the interstate may experience
noise impacts during nighttime hours.

This project (Job CA0601) is part of ARDOT’s Connecting Arkansas Program and includes
widening 5.5 miles of Interstate 30 to three lanes in each direction, from the interchange with
U.S. Highway 70 (Exit 111) to Sevier Street in Benton (Exit 116). The project also includes
improvements at the Highway 67 interchange (Exit 114). More information on this $187.3
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 can
