Travel Disruption Expected on I-440 for Bridge Repairs
Commuters heading eastbound on Interstate 440 near the one-mile marker in Little Rock should prepare for a travel slowdown due to ongoing bridge repair works.
Significant Impacts on Traffic
The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) announced that one lane will be reduced to one lane in the eastbound direction, prompting drivers to consider finding alternative routes during this timeframe to avoid congestion.
A Long-Term Solution for Road Safety
The bridge repair project involves replacing the bridge decking with new concrete, necessitating a two-day curing period for the freshly poured concrete.
Traffic Management Strategies
To manage the flow of vehicles through the repair site, ARDOT plans to employ measures including barrels, message boards, and signage, urging drivers to exercise caution in the affected area.
