This work zone procedure, also called “pacing,” will keep traffic moving very slowly while allowing the contractor to quickly maneuver equipment into the area to be worked ahead of the traffic flow.  This rolling road block is necessary to prevent extended periods of closures and traffic delays due to tapering traffic down to one lane.  Once the procedure is complete, normal traffic flow will be restored.

During the pacing operation, the westbound on-ramp to I-30 from the Bryant interchange will be temporarily closed.  However, the frontage roads and all westbound exit ramps from I-30 to the frontage road will remain open.  This rolling road block WILL NOT AFFECT I-30 EASTBOUND in this area.  Work will be done as weather permits with possible inclement weather forcing the closure schedule to be revised.   Motorists are encouraged to consider alternate routes if possible and follow all roadway signage and speed limits.  For additional information, 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.
