Arkansas Highway Crews Closing Exit To LR Hospital Saturday

Road crews will close an exit to the Baptist Health complex in Little Rock this weekend during work on an access ramp.

The exit from Interstate 630 eastbound and Interstate 430 northbound will be closed Saturday and traffic diverted to nearby Barrow Road. The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department said Wednesday that workers will remove a temporary barrier wall and mark the pavement as work approaches an end around the Big Rock interchange in west Little Rock.

The highway department is rebuilding the state's busiest intersection, reconfiguring exits and adding flyover ramps.

The exit is scheduled to be closed from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, if weather allows.
