Overnight lane closures set for I-40

Overnight lane closures are set for next week on Interstate 40 in North Little Rock, Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department officials announced Friday.

Contractors will remove the old Interstate 430 North to Interstate 40 West bridge at the I-40/430 interchange, the highway department said in a news release.

The work requires alternately closing the eastbound and westbound lanes of I-40 between mile markers 147 and 148, alternately closing inside and outside lanes, the release states.

The closures are set to begin Monday night and continue until Aug. 8.

Closures will be in effect from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., with “short traffic stops” along I-40 between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night, the department said.
