PULASKI COUNTY (01-29) – Construction to widen Interstate 630 requires weekend lane
closures in Little Rock, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT)
officials.

Weather permitting, eastbound and westbound I-630 will close the inside and middle lanes
between Baptist Health Drive (Exit 7) and University Avenue (Exit 5) to allow crews to work
in the main lanes. This work will occur Friday night, January 31 at 8:00 p.m. through
Monday morning, February 3, at 6:00 a.m.

The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zone. 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
