LITTLE ROCK (2-5) – Overhead sign structure installation will continue and requires overnight lane closures on I-40 and I-430 in Little Rock, according to Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) officials.

The work requires alternately closing the inside and outside lanes of I-40 for eastbound and westbound traffic between mile markers 142 and 148, and inside and outside lanes of I-430 for northbound and southbound traffic between mile markers 10 and 12. In addition, the work will necessitate short, intermittent traffic stops on I-40 and I-430 while work is performed over the travel lanes.
