SALINE COUNTY | April 2, 2024

Construction to widen Interstate 30 (I-30) to six lanes in Saline County requires a full closure of Pawnee Drive below I-30 from 9 p.m. Tuesday, April 2 through 10 p.m. Wednesday, April 3.

Weather permitting, crews will close Pawnee Drive to through traffic to place concrete for bridge decking over Pawnee Drive and Highway 70. Local traffic will use adjacent streets to navigate around the closure. See map NR 24-107-A for more details.

Traffic will be controlled with message boards, 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.
