PULASKI COUNTY (6-28) – I-30 eastbound traffic in Little Rock will begin using the newly reconstructed exit ramp to 6th and 9th Streets next week, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting, the interstate off-ramp (Exit 140) will be opened to traffic July 7. I-30 eastbound drivers will use this two-lane exit as the primary route to destinations in downtown Little Rock. After exiting, traffic will follow the frontage road north to access the city's street grid.

Later in July, the I-30 eastbound off-ramp to Highway 10, Cantrell Road, and Clinton Avenue (Exit 141A) will be closed to allow crews to demolish the circular ramp. This will make the 6th/9th Street ramp the only I-30 eastbound exit to downtown Little Rock, including the River Market, MacArthur Park, and the East Village. The next exit drivers can take will be to Broadway Street in North Little Rock.
