RESCHEDULED! WEATHER DELAYS! Highway 10 Widening Project Requires Significant Closures to the Interstate 430 River Bridge

PULASKI COUNTY (2-16) – Improvements to the Cantrell Road (Highway 10) interchange at Interstate 430 require significant closures, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) officials.

Weather permitting, crews will conduct the following closures starting on Friday night, February 26th at 8:00 p.m. and continuing through Monday, March 1st at 5:00 a.m:  All southbound lanes between and Cantrell Road will be closed.  All northbound lanes between Rodney Parham and Cantrell Road will be closed.  AND: a. Any traffic on I-430 north of I-630 must exit at Rodney Parham interchange and be diverted to a detour leading to Cantrell Road, where traffic may re- enter I-430 North. A single lane across the Bridge on I-430 North will be maintained during the closure period.

The following I-430 entrance ramps will REMAIN OPEN:  Westbound Highway 10 to northbound I-430 entrance ramp  Eastbound Highway 10 to southbound I-430 entrance ramp

These operations will allow crews to erect structural beams and install safety platforms. This single weekend closure will minimize the number of nightly lane closures required, thereby reducing the risk and exposure to the motorist as well as the construction personnel.

ARDOT encourages drivers to avoid using I-430 north of I-630 and to avoid I-430 completely where possible. Truck traffic should use I-30 and I-440. All traffic north of I-630 will be diverted at the Rodney Parham Rd. Interchange (Exit 8) onto a detour route. Truck traffic will not be permitted on the detour route and will be re-routed to I-30 and I-440.

If you must travel in that direction for the weekend, please see the attached detour map. Motorists traveling along I-430 north of the Big Rock Interchange will need to exit at Rodney Parham Rd. (Exit 8) and drive westward to the intersection of Hinson Rd. and N. Rodney Parham Rd. and turn right, traveling north onto Rodney Parham Rd. and taking another right onto Pleasant Valley Drive. This will eventually lead drivers back to Cantrell Road (Highway 10) where they can access northbound I-430.

Traffic will be controlled by traffic barrels and signage. Drivers should exercise caution when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones. Additional travel information can be found at IDriveArkansas.com or ARDOT.gov. You can also follow us on Twitter @myARDOT.
