PULASKI COUNTY (01-07) – Work to widen Interstate 630 will require temporary closures of Rodney Parham Road under Interstate 630 in Little Rock, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.
Weather permitting, Rodney Parham Road will be temporarily closed to place structural steel and install safety platforms. These closures are scheduled during the following times.
- Wednesday, January 8, between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. (15-minute closures)
- Thursday, January 9, between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. (15-minute closures)
- Saturday, January 11, between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. (Full closure – see attached detour routes)
Detours on Saturday will direct Rodney Parham Road traffic to University Avenue to bypass the closure. Barricades will be used to close the road. No I-630 ramps will be affected during this closure.
Neighborhoods adjacent to the interstate may experience nighttime and daytime noise impacts during the bridge demolition and associated work.
This project (Job CA0608) is part of ARDOT's Connecting Arkansas Program, which is funded through a 10-year, half-cent sales tax. Interstate 630 is being widened to four lanes in each direction (eight total) for 2.2 miles between the Big Rock Interchange and University Avenue. The widening is estimated to be complete in early 2020. More information on this $87.4 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
