These highways were completed in the late 1970s. The last major project in the city itself was the construction of I-630 as an east-west route through downtown. It was opened in six phases between 1969 and 1985. In 1994, State Route 440 opened north of I-40, although it was not until 2003 before it joined US 67 to Jonesboro. This was also the most recent freeway opening in the Little Rock area.
