JEFFERSON COUNTY (10-1) – Replacing broken concrete panels on Interstate 530 needs lane width restrictions, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting; beginning Monday, October 4, at 8:00 a.m., crews will begin replacing broken concrete panels on the northbound I-530 on-ramp at the Highway 63 interchange (Exit 43). Crews will reduce the lane width by closing only half of the lane at a time. The lane will remain open, but alternate routes are suggested if possible. After the first side is complete, crews will switch and repair the other side. This work is expected to take three weeks.

Orange barrels, cones, message boards, and signage will control traffic. Additional travel information can be found at IDriveArkansas.com or ARDOT.gov. You can also follow us on Twitter @IDriveArkansas for traffic and @myARDOT for everything else.
