PULASKI COUNTY (5-29) – Widening Cantrell Road (Highway 10) between Pleasant Ridge
Road and Pleasant Valley Drive in Little Rock will require the permanent closure of Pleasant
Valley Farm Road, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Crews will permanently close Pleasant Valley Farm Road on Monday, June 1 to allow for
utility and construction work to continue in preparation for larger highway construction
activities in this area. Pleasant Valley Farm Road is located between Rodney Parham Road
and I-430 on the south side of Cantrell Road. Anderson Road will continue to service the
businesses in that area.

The widening of Cantrell from Pleasant Ridge Road to Pleasant Valley Drive is the first
project delivered by ARDOT using the Construction Manger General Contractor project
delivery method, authorized as part of a pilot program under Act 809 of 2017. Kiewit
Infrastructure South Co. was selected in February 2018 and worked with ARDOT during the
design phase by providing constructability reviews, risk identification and mitigation, and
design innovation and optimization. Kiewit’s bid price was accepted by ARDOT and a
construction contract was executed in March 2020. Work is expected to begin on Monday,
June 8 and is estimated to be complete in mid-2023.

Traffic will be controlled by traffic barrels, signage, and concrete barricades. Drivers should
exercise caution when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones.
