Interstate 30 Westbound Ramp Closures Scheduled in Benton
SALINE COUNTY | September 10, 2024
NR #24-286
Construction to widen Interstate 30 (I-30) to six lanes in Saline County requires the closure of the South Street and Highway 67/229 on-ramps to I-30 westbound in Benton from 10 p.m. Wednesday, September 11 through 6 a.m. Thursday, September 12.
Weather permitting, crews will alternately close the three on-ramps starting with the South Street to I-30 west ramp. Signed detours will be in place to navigate around the ramp closures. The detours are as follows:
- South Street on-ramp to I-30 westbound. South Street traffic accessing I-30 westbound will detour to Highway 229 and take the on-ramp to I-30 west. See detour map NR 24-286-A for more information.
- Highway 67/229 ramps to I-30 west. Traffic will take I-30 east, use Exit 116 (Sevier Street/South Street), and return to I-30 west. See detour map NR 24-286-B for more information.
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.
This project (Job CA0601) is part of ARDOT’s Connecting Arkansas Program and includes widening 5.5 miles of Interstate 30 to three lanes in each direction, from the interchange with U.S. Highway 70 (Exit 111) to Sevier Street in Benton (Exit 116). The project also includes improvements at the Highway 67 interchange (Exit 114). More information on this project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
