Construction Requires Temporary Road Closure of Rodney Parham Road Below Interstate 630 in Little Rock

PULASKI COUNTY (01-07) – Work to widen Interstate 630 will require temporary closures
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 temporarily closed to place structural
steel and install safety platforms. These closures are scheduled during the following times.

  • Wednesday, January 8, between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. (15-minute closures)
  • Thursday, January 9, between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. (15-minute closures)
  • Saturday, January 11, between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. (Full closure – see
    attached detour routes)


Detours on Saturday will direct Rodney Parham Road traffic to University Avenue to bypass
the closure. 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
