PULASKI COUNTY (11-22) – Construction to widen Interstate 630 requires lane closures in
Little Rock, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.
Weather permitting, eastbound and westbound I-630 will alternately close the middle and
outside lanes between University Avenue (Exit 5) and Baptist Health Drive (Exit 7). This
work will occur nightly between 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m on the following dates to allow crews
to clean and paint the bridges at John Barrow Road and South Hughes Street.
- Monday night, November 25 to Wednesday morning, November 27
- Monday night, December 2 to Saturday morning, December 7
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
