Watch for ARDOT to make changes and close a highway ramp overnights this week due to construction to widen Interstate 30 to six lanes. Workers will close the eastbound on-ramp at Exit 116. Crews will be working to shift ramp traffic south onto new pavement adjacent to I-30.
This means you’ll have to skip merging to the Interstate at Sevier and South Streets if you’re going toward Little Rock. You can still choose the on-ramp at Exit 114 or at Exit 117 to get on I-30. The westbound on-ramp at Exit 116 will be open. Local traffic may use alternate adjacent roads to navigate around the closure.
SCROLL DOWN FOR MAP AND TIMING:
The closure will begin 9 p.m., Tuesday night, December 18th and end by 5 a.m., Thursday morning, December 19th. These times will be as the weather allows.
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.
