SALINE COUNTY | April 29, 2024

Construction to widen Interstate 30 (I-30) to six lanes in Saline County requires additional overnight closures near Exit 111 to allow crews to perform work on the new I-30 West bridge.

The additional night closure is needed because of weekend weather delays.

Crews will close the I-30 East ramp to Highway 70 (Exit 111), the Highway 70 ramp to I-30 East, and Pawnee Drive underneath I-30 during the following times:

• 9 p.m. Monday, April 29 through 5 a.m. Tuesday, April 30

Traffic will not be able to use the above-mentioned ramps or Pawnee Drive during the closures; traffic will need to follow the signed detours. See attached detour map NR 24-125-A.

• I-30 east to Highway 70 detour: Continue east on I-30 to Highway 67 south (Exit 114), take underpass on Highway 67 to the frontage road, return to I-30 west and Highway 70 (Exit 111).
• Highway 70 to I-30 east detour: Take ramp to I-30 west and Old Military Road (Exit 106), take overpass toward Highway 67 and return to I-30 east.

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.
