Motorists in Central Arkansas should be prepared for overnight ramp and lane closures on major interstates due to bridge maintenance work. The closures will occur nightly from 8 p.m. to 3 p.m. the following day, impacting Interstate 530 (I-530), Interstate 30 (I-30), and Interstate 440 (I-440). These closures will last from Monday, July 14, through Friday afternoon, July 25, with schedules subject to weather conditions.
Affected Areas:
- I-530 Southbound will experience single-lane closures within the I-440/I-30/I-530 interchange.
- The ramp from I-530 North Exit 1B to I-30 West will be completely closed. Northbound drivers should take I-30 East, exit at 139A (Roosevelt Road), and loop back to I-30 West as a detour.
- The ramp from I-440 West Exit 138B to I-530 South will also be closed.
Drivers are encouraged to plan alternate routes, allow extra travel time, and stay alert for construction signage and workers. The lane closures may cause delays, particularly during morning and midday traffic peaks.
To stay informed on road closures and traffic conditions, travelers can visit the IDriveArkansas website or follow ARDOT on social media. All motorists are urged to drive cautiously in work zones.
