Contractors working on the rehabilitation of Interstate 40 in North Little Rock will require a nighttime road closure on Pike Avenue / Percy Machin Rd. in the vicinity of the Levy bridge for removal of safety platforms under the new bridge deck.  A detour route will be in place during the road closure period beginning at 10:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 7^th through 6:00 a.m. the following morning.  All work will be done as weather permits with possible rainfall forcing the road closure schedule to begin at a later date.  

Motorists are encouraged to consider alternate routes if possible and follow all roadway signage and speed limits.  Additional details of this and other Interstate lane closures may be found at the www.ArkansasInterstates.com website where a “Daily Lane Closures” page lists continuous updates to current and upcoming lane closure locations and time frames.  The AHTD Public Affairs Office is available via phone at 501-569-2227 on Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., to assist motorists with construction information.
