Advance Notice: 30 Crossing Project to Permanently Close Interchange Ramps at I-30 and Cumberland St. in Little Rock
Information Release
Arkansas Department of Transportation
NR 21-216
July 6, 2021
PULASKI COUNTY (7-6) – More ramps are closing mid-July at the I-30 interchange with Cumberland Street in Little Rock, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.
Weather permitting, crews will permanently close the following interchange ramps on Tuesday, July 13 and Wednesday, July 14. See detour maps NR 21-216-A, -B and -C for additional route information.
- Cumberland Street on-ramp to I-30 eastbound.
- I-30 eastbound exit ramp to Cumberland Street (Exit 141A).
- I-30 westbound exit ramp to Cumberland Street (Exit 141A). The existing off-ramp loop to 2nd Street will remain open.
These operations are part of a construction plan to demolish the interchange and reconstruct the
I-30 bridge and associated ramps. Once the I-30 eastbound exit ramp to Cumberland Street is closed, the 6th/9th Street exit ramp (Exit 140) will be 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.
During ramp demolition work, local communities may experience impacts from work lights and noise, including during overnight hours.
Drivers should exercise caution when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones. A long-term and permanent travel impact interactive map is available at 30Crossing.com, along with additional project information. Additional travel information can be found at IDriveArkansas.com or ARDOT.gov. You can also follow us on Twitter @IDriveArkansas for traffic and @myARDOT for everything else.
