Construction to widen Interstate 30 (I-30) to six lanes in Saline County requires the closure of the South Street on-ramp to I-30 westbound in Benton from 10 p.m. Wednesday, July 17 through 6 a.m. Thursday, July 18.
See the detour map below, provided by ARDOT.
Weather permitting, crews will close the ramp to allow traffic to be shifted onto new pavement. Signed detours will be in place to navigate around the ramp closure.
The detour is as follows:
- South Street traffic accessing I-30 westbound will detour to Highway 229 and take the on-ramp to I-30 west.
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.
