The 30 Crossing Project was an innovative venture by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT), marking its first Design-Build (D-B) project, in which the designer and contractor, Kiewit-Massman Construction, collaborated as a team to provide a unified project to fit the schedule and budget. This led to quicker problem-solving, greater innovation, and efficient project delivery. The project reconstructed 4.7 miles of I-30 and I-40 in Little Rock and North Little Rock, Arkansas, from the interchange with I-630 to the interchange with I-40. This corridor included the convergence of multiple major highways in the state’s busiest corridor. Since construct began in 2020, the project celebrated major milestones each year, reconstructing the I-30 corridor in central Arkansas into a more reliable and modern transportation facility. The project was substantially complete in November 2024, more than half a year ahead of schedule.
