The 30 Crossing project (Job CA0602) is part of ARDOT’s Connecting Arkansas Program
(CAP) that was approved by voters in 2012. It is being funded with the proceeds from the
temporary ½-cent sales tax that is set to expire in 2023. The passage or failure of Issue 1 at
the polls this November will have no impact on the 30 Crossing work that is beginning this
fall, including the construction of a new Arkansas River bridge and improved access to both
downtowns. More information on the CAP 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
