After a series of delays, the long-awaited Interstate 30 construction project in Saline County is finally set to reach completion at the end of December.

Rex Vines, chief of operations for the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT), said in an interview with Little Rock Public Radio that final touches are being done around mile marker 111 –the last stretch of construction– including concrete finishings, guard rails and overhead signage.

“The project has improved, not only the pavement, but the traffic flow all the way to Highway 70,” Vines said. “It’s great to see traffic flowing and reduced congestion.”
