2025 statewide quality Winner | South Terminal I-630 

We’re honored to be named the Statewide Quality Winner by the Arkansas Asphalt Paving Association for our work on ARDOT 061820 South Terminal 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.

Work Details

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.

Complex Traffic Management

To complete this work, nightly operations required 4–5 lane closures to safely manage merging traffic through these heavily traveled interchanges. The work was completed at night to minimize disruptions in traffic. The area sees an average of 90,000 cars per day.

Project Details

This high-profile, extremely complex project involved milling, overlaying, and placing Ultra-Thin Bonded Wearing Course (UTBWC) on the interstate and ramps in downtown Little Rock.

  • Asphalt Paving: This job used 22,374 tons of ACHM surface
  • Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing Course – 214,331 SY of thin layer asphalt placed with specialty paver.
  • Concrete Patching: 156 full-depth concrete patches were used on the I-630
