ARDOT will close the whole road this time. Watch for the Arkansas Department of Transportation to close a road in both directions during the overnight hours, near Interstate 30’s Exit 114 area. See below for the when and where exactly, plus a map of detours. Construction crews will need to do this as part of the widening of I-30 to six lanes in Saline County.
WHEN
Look for this to happen, beginning the evening of Wednesday, October 18th through Friday morning, October 20th.
WHERE
Weather permitting, crews will close Highway 67/229 under I-30 at Exit 114, between Pawnee Drive and the frontage road north of I-30 between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night. This closure will allow crews to continue work on the I-30 bridge over Highway 67/229.
