Traffic Pattern Change at Vandenberg Boulevard Exit Ramp (Exit 11A) and TP White Drive in Jacksonville

PULASKI COUNTY | June 30, 2023

Construction to widen Highway 67 to six lanes between Main Street and Vandenberg Boulevard in Jacksonville requires a traffic pattern change at the northbound Exit 11A (Vandenberg Boulevard) ramp.

Weather permitting, crews will modify the existing Highway 67 northbound Exit 11A (Vandenberg Boulevard) exit ramp on July 5. This traffic pattern change will allow exiting traffic to continue onto TP White Drive toward the Vandenberg Boulevard intersection without stopping (TP White Drive traffic will now yield to exiting vehicles). See attached map 23-215-A for additional information.

To improve traffic flow at the Vandenberg Boulevard intersections with the frontage roads and to keep traffic from backing up on Highway 67 northbound, drivers are encouraged to take the following exits to the Little Rock Air Force Base and John Harden Drive:

  • Highway 67 northbound traffic accessing John Harden Drive takes Exit 11A (Vandenberg Boulevard) and stays in the left lane.
  • Highway 67 northbound traffic accessing the Little Rock Air Force Base takes Exit 8 (Redmond Road), Exit 9 (Main Street), or Exit 11B (Air Force Base).

Traffic will be controlled with traffic drums, signs, message boards, yield signs, and a yield bar. 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 CA0604) is part of ARDOT’s Connecting Arkansas Program and includes widening 2.5 miles of Highway 67 to six lanes, between Main Street (Exit 9) and Vandenberg Boulevard (Exit 11) in Jacksonville. The project also includes improvements at the James Street interchange (Exit 10A), the Gregory Street Interchange (Exit 10B), the Vandenberg Boulevard interchange (Exit 11), and conversion of the Frontage roads from two-way to one-way. More information on this $145.2 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
