I-30 Project Multi-Lane 61622

2025 statewide quality Winner for project 061622

We’re honored to be named the Statewide Quality Winner by the Arkansas Asphalt Paving Association for our work on the South Terminal as part of the larger CA0602 “30 Crossing” project.

The South Terminal sits at the heart of Little Rock. It’s where the I-30, I-40, I-440, I-530, and the I-630 all meet. Thousands of Arkansans drive these roads every single day, and thanks to our crews, they’re driving on a smoother, safer path.

30 Crossings Project

The project demanded close coordination with the concurrent CA0602 (30 Crossings) project and associated lane closures on the I-30 Main Lanes and I-630 Interchange.

Nightly Lane Closurs

To complete this work, nightly operations required 4–5 lane closures to safely manage merging traffic through these heavily traveled interchanges. These were often scheduled between 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. to minimize disruption to the 120,000+ daily vehicles.
