ARDOT crew to close ramp at Highway 67/Interstate 30, Jan 29-30

ARDOT crews need to close a ramp in Saline County Wednesday through Saturday.

Construction to widen Interstate 30 (I-30) to six lanes in Saline County requires closing the Highway 67 on-ramp to I-30 east during overnight hours Monday, January 29 and Tuesday night, January 30 in Benton.

More details & possible detours below ??

Weather permitting, crews will close the ramp from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night for bridge work. Traffic will not be able to use the I-30 eastbound ramp during this closure and will need to follow the signed detours. The detour is as follows:

• West on Frontage Road (north of I-30)
• West on I-30 to Exit 106 (Old Military Road)
• South on overpass toward I-30 East on-ramp
• East on I-30

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.
