INTERSTATE 30

Interstate 30 provides access between Fort Worth, Dallas, Texarkana, and Little Rock. The shortest Interstate x0 at a length of just 367 miles, Interstate 30 is the interstate for southwest Arkansas.

The highway enters Arkansas from Texas in Texarkana. About 30 miles later, the highway has two interchanges for the city of Hope, the birthplace of former President Bill Clinton. Interstate 30 then makes its way towards Arkadelphia, which is a gateway of sorts for the Hot Springs area. A cloverleaf interchange is in place at U.S. 270 at mile marker 98. U.S. 70 joins the interstate at mile marker 111, and are joined to Little Rock. A resurfacing project is well underway on Interstate 30 from mile marker 117 to mile marker 133. Two lanes are allotted in each direction and the highway has a 55 mph speed limit. After leaving the construction area, Interstate 30 heads to the north at the beginning of both Interstate 440 and Interstate 530. Interstate 30 then heads through the east part of downtown Little Rock, crosses over the Arkansas River, and finds its eastern end at Interstate 40 in North Little Rock.
