INTERSTATE 530

(Redirected from Interstate 530 (Arkansas))

'Interstate 530' (abbreviated 'I-530') in Arkansas is a nearly 47 mile (76 km) long spur route from Little Rock at the junction of Interstate 30 and Interstate 440 in the northwest, to Pine Bluff in the southeast. The current route was formerly designated as U.S. Highway 65; that designation continues. It formally gained the I-530 designation after a full interstate-grade bypass of Pine Bluff (known locally as the Wiley Branton Highway) replaced a less-than-interstate segment of U.S. 65 through Pine Bluff (known locally as the Martha Mitchell Expressway, now U.S. 65B); U.S. 65 was moved to the bypass shortly before it became I-530.
A planned extension of the route (away from U.S. 65) continues it to U.S. Highway 278 in Wilmar, Arkansas; the first segment of it, from U.S. 278 north to Arkansas 35, opened as a two-lane freeway called 'Arkansas Highway 530' on June 6, 2006. [1] This extension is intended to connect to the proposed southern extension of Interstate 69; U.S. 278 at Wilmar also provides four-lane access to the future I-530 from the much larger cities of Warren and Monticello, thus allowing both cities to champion its completion.

US 167 Junction

At the US Highway 167 junction US 167 can only be accessed by southbound I-530 and not northbound. Used to until a few years ago you would use a median crossover to access US 167 South from I-530 North. Due to a number of severe and fatal accidents the crossover was taken out and to access US 167 South from I-530 North you have to use The Bingham Road (exit 9) Exit and crossover the over pass and get back onto I-530 South.
