SALINE COUNTY | January 23, 2024

Construction to widen Interstate 30 (I-30) to six lanes in Saline County requires two ramp closures at the I-30 East/Highway 70 interchange (Exit 111) during overnight hours beginning Wednesday night, January 24 through Saturday morning, January 27.

Weather permitting, crews will close the I-30 East ramp to Highway 70 and the Highway 70 ramp to I-30 East from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night for construction activities. Traffic will not be able to use either ramp during these closures and traffic will need to follow the signed detours. See attached detour map NR 24-006-A.

I-30 East to Highway 70 detour

• Continue east on I-30 to Exit 114 (Highway 67 South)
• Take underpass on Highway 67/229 to the frontage road and return to I-30 West
• West on I-30 to Highway 70 (Exit 111)

Highway 70 to I-30 East detour

• Take ramp to I-30 West
• West on I-30 to Exit 106 (Old Military Road)
• Take overpass toward Highway 67
• East on Highway 67 to return to I-30 East

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.
