Arkansas Plans Highway Lane Closures Over Busy Thanksgiving Travel Season

Interstate 30
Arkansas Highway & Transportation Dept.

Arkansas drivers will encounter 28 miles of lane closings on major highways over the Thanksgiving holiday.

The  Highway and Transportation Department said Friday that four major highways will have construction-related lane closures: Interstates 40, 430 and 530, plus U.S. 67.

  • I-40 traffic will be restricted in both directions near Russellville and West Memphis and in the eastbound lanes near Brinkley.
  • I-430 southbound has a lane missing in southwest Little Rock and I-530 has lane closures in both directions from Little Rock south to near the Sheridan exit.
  • U.S. 67 near Bald Knob has a lane closure in both directions.

Highway officials say the Sunday after Thanksgiving is typically the busiest day on Arkansas highways and that delays could be possible in the work areas.
