An Arkansas Department of Transportation shutdown of the Interstate 430 Arkansas River bridge between Little Rock and North Little Rock to traffic to accommodate construction won't happen this weekend because of the potential for inclement weather, an agency spokesman said Tuesday.
"It will be open this weekend, Valentine's Day weekend, it will be open," Dave Parker announced on social media. "We are doing this because the contractor handling this project doesn't feel comfortable for potential winter weather."
The forecast from the National Weather Service gives a 20% chance of snow on Saturday and a 40% chance on Monday, which is President Washington's Birthday.
The bridge shutdown has been moved to the weekend of Feb. 19, Parker said.
