Interstate 440 (I-440) and Highway 440 (AR 440), in the
US 167 (Future I-57) in Jacksonville
. This section is known as the North Belt Freeway.
Route description
 |
I-440 begins at
US 167 (Future I-57). There are ghost ramps
at the terminus. AR 440 may be redesignated as I-440 when I-57 is designated along US 67.
To avoid repeating the disturbance of the Fourche Creek floodplain by a causeway section of I-30 (including what is now the I-30/I-440/I-530 interchange), most of I-440 between I-30 and the exit leading to the airport is an extended bridge through the floodplain, crossing Fourche Creek several times.
History
Highway 440 | |
|---|---|
| Location | Jacksonville |
| Existed | 2003–present |
The idea of I-440 was first proposed in 1941.
I-440 is part of a planned full loop around the metropolitan area, together with
I-430. Part of that effort, an extended route from I-440's east end at I-40 to US 67/US 167, opened in 2003 as AR 440 and is also part of the North Belt Freeway project. However, completing the North Belt Freeway to I-430 has been put on hold after its cost was estimated at over $600 million.[5]
