SALINE COUNTY | August 12, 2024
Construction to widen Interstate 30 (I-30) to six lanes in Saline County requires overnight closure of the frontage road connection (south of I-30) to W. South Street eastbound from 9 p.m. Monday, August 12 to 5 a.m. Tuesday, August 13 and 9 p.m. Tuesday, August 13 to 5 a.m. Wednesday, August 14.
Weather permitting, crews will close the connection road from the eastbound frontage road to W. South Street eastbound for drainage installation. Traffic will be unable to use this connection road during the closure and will follow the signed detour. See attached detour map NR 24-266-A for additional information.
- Frontage road ramp (south of I-30) to W. South Street eastbound. Traffic traveling east on the frontage road will travel under the W. South Street Bridge, take the loop ramp onto the W. South Street Bridge, enter the roundabout, and return to W. South Street 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.
