Arkansas Secures Work Zone on I-30

Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) Project BB0306, the Sheppard to Highway 278 project, entailed undercutting the inside shoulder and overlaying an asphalt surface on I-30. To prevent severe crashes and fatalities, AHTD has included in its traffic control plans items such as “Reduced Speed Limit” and “Fines Doubled” signs; Arkansas Highway Police cars at each end of the work zones; and temporary portable rumble strips. As this project is nearly ended, there were no severe crashes or fatalities during construction.
