Weekend Closure Expected for I-30 to I-630
This coming weekend, motorists should be prepared for a significant disruption on the Interstate 30 (I-30) westbound ramp to Interstate 630. Construction on the new I-30 bridge to I-630 will necessitate a full closure of the ramp, scheduled to take place from 10 p.m. Friday, June 14, through 5 a.m. Monday, June 17.
This closure is part of the larger 30 Crossing project, aimed at enhancing transportation connections and capacity in central Arkansas. The project, which includes replacing the I-30 bridge over the Arkansas River, is expected to be completed by the summer of 2025. During the closure, drivers will need to detour through Roosevelt Road to reach their destinations.
In addition to this weekend’s closure, lane closures will also occur during the week starting Monday, June 10, in the area of I-30 and North Little Rock. These closures include both daytime and overnight lane restrictions to accommodate ongoing construction activities. The closures are intended to complete various elements of the project, including ramp improvements and the placement of concrete roadway on the new bridge.
Drivers are advised to exercise caution and follow the provided detours and signage. For more information and updates on the construction progress and travel impacts, the public can access interactive maps and project details on the Connecting Arkansas Program and Arkansas Department of Transportation websites.
The 30 Crossing project is one of the 19 projects within the Connecting Arkansas Program, which is funded through a voter-approved 10-year, half-cent sales tax. This comprehensive program aims to significantly improve highway infrastructure across the state.
