Ramp and Lane Closures Scheduled at Highway 67/229 and South Street in Saline County

SALINE COUNTY | July 27, 2023
NR#245

Construction to widen Interstate 30 (I-30) to six lanes in Saline County requires ramp closures at the Highway 67/229 and I-30 interchange (Exit 114) and ramp closures, lane closures, and a new traffic pattern at the South Street and I-30 interchange (Exit 116) from 9 p.m. Sunday, July 28 through 6 a.m. Monday, July 29.

South Street (Exit 116)
Weather permitting, crews will reduce South Street to a single lane from Rasburry Street to Bell Street. Additionally, the I-30 east on-ramp will be closed during this time. Local traffic may use alternate adjacent roads to navigate around the closures. See map NR 24-245-A for more information.

Highway 67/227 (Exit 114)
Multiple ramps at the Highway 67/229 and I-30 interchange will close throughout the night. No more than two ramps will be closed at the same time. Frontage roads north and south of I-30 also will be reduced to one lane with flagging operations. See closure maps NR 24-245-B for more information.

The following ramps will be closed and detours will be signed as follows:

• I-30 east off-ramp to Highway 67/229. Traffic will continue on I-30 east and take Exit 116 (Sevier Street/South Street), return to I-30 west, and take Exit 114 (Highway 67/229).
• I-30 west on-ramp for south traffic on Highway 67/229. Traffic will take I-30 east, use Exit 116 (Sevier Street/South Street), and return to I-30 west.
• I-30 west off-ramp to Highway 67/229. Traffic will exit at Exit 116 (Sevier Street/South Street) and follow the frontage road to Highway 229.
• I-30 west on-ramp for north traffic on Highway 67/229. Traffic will follow Highway 67 to Highway 229 to South Street and take the ramp to access I-30 west.
• I-30 east on-ramp. Traffic will follow Highway 67 to Highway 229 to South Street and take the on-ramp to access I-30 east.

Traffic will be controlled with message boards, flagging operations, construction barrels, barricades, and signage. Traffic will follow signed detours. 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 $187.3 million project is available at ConnectingArkansasProgram.com.
