Fort Smith, Ark. – According to the state officials, the closures will allow crews to complete paving operations to widen I-30 eastbound to four lanes in North Little Rock.
Beginning at 10 p.m. Friday night, the ramp from I-30 eastbound to I-40 eastbound will close. Once work is complete and pavement markings are applied, the I-30 eastbound ramp to I-40 eastbound will open to traffic.
This is scheduled to occur Saturday morning.
Following this opening, the I-30 eastbound ramp to I-40 westbound will be closed until all work and pavement markings are complete.
Detours for Alternating Closures of Ramps
- When the I-30 east ramp to I-40 east is closed, I-30 traffic will take the JFK Boulevard exit (N Hwy. 107) to access I-40 east.
- When the I-30 east ramp to I-40 west is closed, I-30 traffic will take I-40 eastbound and use the North Hills Boulevard ramp (Exit 154). During this time, the JFK Boulevard exit (N Hwy. 107) will also be closed from I-30 eastbound.
