NR 24-125
Construction to widen Interstate 30 (I-30) to six lanes in Saline County requires overnight closures near Exit 111 Thursday night, April 25 and Friday night, April 26 to allow crews to perform work on the new I-30 West bridge.
Crews will close the I-30 East ramp to Highway 70 (Exit 111), the Highway 70 ramp to I-30 East, and Pawnee Drive underneath I-30 during the following times:
- 9 p.m. Thursday, April 25 through 5 a.m. Friday, April 26
- 10 p.m. Friday, April 26 through 6 a.m. Saturday, April 27
Traffic will not be able to use the above-mentioned ramps or Pawnee Drive during the closures; traffic will need to follow the signed detours. See attached detour map NR 24-125-A.
- I-30 east to Highway 70 detour: Continue east on I-30 to Highway 67 south (Exit 114), take underpass on Highway 67 to the frontage road, return to I-30 west and Highway 70 (Exit 111).
- Highway 70 to I-30 east detour: Take ramp to I-30 west and Old Military Road (Exit 106), take overpass toward Highway 67 and return to I-30 east.
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.
