I-40/I-430 project shuts lanes at night

Work on Interstates 40 and 430 in North Little Rock will require overnight lane closures next week, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department said.

The installation of a precast barrier wall and other work at the I-40/I-430 interchange will require closing the I-40 eastbound and westbound inside lanes near the interchange. It will also require reducing the width of the ramps from I-40 west to I-430 south to Little Rock and from I-430 north to I-40 west to Conway.

Alternating eastbound and westbound inside lane closures will occur nightly from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. beginning Monday and ending Saturday morning, the department said. The westbound lane closures will be between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.

The work is part of a project that will complete the widening to six lanes from four of I-40 between North Little Rock and Conway. The project, part of the agency's $1.8 billion Connecting Arkansas Program, is anticipated to be complete in 2016.
