Traffic Shift and Ramp Closures Scheduled for I-30 Westbound in Saline County
SALINE COUNTY | February 28, 2024
NR #24-068
Interstate 30 westbound traffic in Saline County will shift toward the median during overnight hours 10 p.m. Friday, March 1 through 6 a.m. Saturday, March 2 in Saline County.
Weather permitting, I-30 westbound traffic between South Street (Exit 116) in Benton and Highway 67/229 (Exit 114) will move from the existing main lanes onto new pavement adjacent to the new eastbound lanes. Traffic can expect lane closures and slow roll operations during this traffic shift.
In addition, the I-30 westbound off- and on-ramps at South Street (Exit 116) will be closed overnight to allow crews to shift traffic. Signed detours will be in place to navigate around the ramp closures. See detour map NR 24-068-A for more information. Accommodations will be made to allow emergency vehicles to access closed ramps.
- South Street on-ramp to I-30 westbound. Frontage road traffic accessing I-30 westbound will detour to Highway 229 and the frontage road.
- I-30 westbound off-ramp to South Street (Exit 116). Exiting traffic will detour to I-30 westbound Exit 117 (Hwy. 5/35).
All I-30 eastbound on- and off-ramps will remain open during this work.
Traffic will be controlled with message boards, construction barrels, barricades, and signage. The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zone and watch for slower traffic speeds. Areas adjacent to the Interstate may experience noise impacts during nighttime hours.
