Interstate 440
Interstate 440 (abbreviated I-440) in Arkansas is a partial loop of 9.96 miles (16.03 km) connecting Interstate 40 with Interstate 30 and Interstate 530 near Little Rock. The route, known as the East Belt Freeway during planning and construction, travels through much of the area's industrial core in the eastern part of the metropolitan area and near Little Rock National Airport and the Port of Little Rock. The route is mostly a six-lane freeway.
North of I-40, the route continues as Arkansas Highway 440 (Hwy. 440) until it reaches U.S. Route 67 in Jacksonville. This section of Hwy. 440 is known as the North Belt Freeway. Highway 440 is proposed to eventually extend back to I-40 at Interstate 430 between Maumelle and Little Rock. Once this segment is completed, Highway 440 will be redesignated as Interstate 440.
