The Little Rock Board of Directors is scheduled to hear a presentation during a special Tuesday meeting on plans to renovate the I-30 crossing.
Scott Bennett, director of the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department, and Jerry Holder Jr. of the Connecting Arkansas Program are scheduled to speak.
The board plans to conduct its regular business during a meeting beginning at 5 p.m. in the City Hall Board Chamber at 500 W. Markham St. At 7 p.m., the board will move to the Clinton Presidential Center Grand Hall at 1200 President Clinton Ave. to hear the I-30 presentation.
The city scheduled the larger Clinton Center venue anticipating the need for more space to accommodate the general public.
Public comments will be allowed, the city said.
The I-30 project presentation will be broadcast on Government Access Channel 11 (LRTV) at a later date. It will also be available online at littlerock.org.
State Highway and Transportation Department officials recently unveiled plans to widen the I-30 and rework on- and off-ramps downtown.
Critics have called those plans too costly and say they could harm the progress of downtown development in Little Rock and further divide portions of the city. Others have said improving arterial roads in Little Rock and North Little Rock would be more efficient and less costly and would result in less urban sprawl.
