PULASKI COUNTY (02-19) – Construction to widen Interstate 630 requires lane closures
on Rodney Parham Road at Interstate 630 in Little Rock, according to Arkansas Department
of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting, crews will close Rodney Parham Road below the I-630 bridge from
Friday, February 21 at 8:00 p.m. to Monday, February 24 at 6:00 a.m. to remove bridge
decking and paint structural steel. Detours will direct Rodney Parham Road traffic to
University Avenue to bypass the closure (See attached map). 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 work. The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work
zone.

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
