SALINE COUNTY | April 12, 2023

The newly opened ramp from Highway 70 to Interstate 30 eastbound will require an overnight closure as part of the construction project to widen Interstate 30 to six lanes in Saline County.

Weather permitting, crews will close Highway 70 to Interstate 30 eastbound ramp during overnight hours Wednesday, April 12, between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. During this closure crews will finish striping the new ramp and traffic will be temporarily detoured. Traffic heading toward I-30 eastbound will follow a signed detour to I-30 westbound, take the Old Military Road ramp (Exit 106), and return to I-30 eastbound.

Traffic will be controlled with construction barrels, barricades, and signage. The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zone and watch for slower traffic speeds. Areas adjacent to the Interstate may experience noise impacts during nighttime hours.

This project (Job CA0601) is part of ARDOT’s Connecting Arkansas Program and includes widening 5.5 miles of Interstate 30 to three lanes in each direction, from the interchange with U.S. Highway 70 (Exit 111) to Sevier Street in Benton (Exit 116). The project also includes improvements at the Highway 67 interchange (Exit 114). More information on this $187.3 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
