Drivers exiting Interstate 30 at Exit 114 westbound (toward Hot Springs) will have a slight lane shift on the way, as well as a new, 4-way stop sign at the intersection of the exit ramp and Highway 229/67, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials. This is part of a larger construction project to widen I-30 to six lanes in Saline County.
Traffic on Interstate 30 will not be impacted by the lane shifts. Crews will move barrier wall, restripe, and move traffic beginning Tuesday, December 29 through Wednesday, December 30.
Traffic will be controlled with slow rolls, along with assistance from the Arkansas Highway Police. 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.
Drivers should exercise caution when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones. Additional travel information can be found at IDriveArkansas.com or ARDOT.gov. You can also follow us on Twitter @myARDOT.
