PULASKI COUNTY (7-7) – All Interstate 30 lanes in Little Rock between 6th Street and the Interstate 630 interchange will be closed the weekend of July 9, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.
Weather permitting, crews will close the interstate and move traffic onto the I-30 frontage roads starting on Friday night, July 9 at 10 p.m. and continuing through Monday morning, July 12 at 5 a.m. See detour map NR 21-208-A for additional information. These operations are part of a maintenance of traffic plan to demolish the 9th Street bridge in order to reconstruct it.
- I-30 eastbound traffic will take the 6th/9th Street ramp (Exit 140) to the frontage road and will use the on-ramp at 6th Street to return to I-30.
- I-30 westbound traffic will take the 6th Street ramp (Exit 140B) to the frontage road and will use the on-ramp south of 9th Street to return to I-30.
During this work, the I-630 eastbound exit ramp to I-30 eastbound will also be closed. Traffic will take I-30 westbound to I-440 and return to I-30 as needed. See detour map NR 21-208-B for additional information. Some city streets in the vicinity of 6th and 9th Streets will also be closed to facilitate the movement of traffic. Local street detours will be signed.
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.
