SALINE COUNTY (3-7) – Bridge work in preparation of widening Interstate 30 to six lanes between U.S. Highway 70 and Benton requires overnight lane closures in Saline County, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.
Weather permitting, various lanes on I-30 and its frontage roads will be closed to hang netting on the South Street overpass. Lanes will be closed overnight Monday night, March 11 through Friday night, March 15. The contractor will begin with eastbound I-30 closures, and once complete, move to westbound closures.
- Eastbound I-30 will alternately close the inside and outside lanes at the South Street overpass between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
The eastbound frontage road will be reduced to one open lane at the South Street overpass between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
- Westbound I-30 will alternately close the inside and outside lanes between Congo Road and the South Street overpass between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
The westbound frontage road will be reduced to one open lane at the South Street overpass between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. During this time, the I-30 on-ramp west of Carpenter Street will be closed. Traffic can use the on-ramp west of South Street.
Interstate traffic will be controlled with construction barrels and signage. Frontage road traffic will be controlled with flaggers, barrels, and signage. The public is advised to be cautious when traveling in the work zone. Areas adjacent to the interstate may experience noise impacts during nighttime hours.
