I-30 expansion fact-check | VERIFY
SUMMARY: The I-30 Crossing project in Little Rock and North Little Rock aims to improve traffic flow and safety, but confusion has arisen regarding a ramp from I-30 to 671/167. Some believed a direct ramp was included, but ARDOT clarified that it was not part of the plan. Instead, a new ramp was constructed to reduce weaving issues by shifting traffic to the left lanes. Drivers still need to navigate the I-30/I-40 interchange to access 671/167, now designated I-57. This is part of a broader plan to eventually create a corridor from Chicago to Little Rock.
As ARDOT continues work on the I-30 Crossing project, some drivers have been confused about what the end result will look like. Here’s what the project hopes to do.
