Interstate 30
Explore Interstate 30, the vital east–west route linking Fort Worth, Dallas, Texarkana, and Little Rock. Learn about I-30’s cities, history, and role in Southern U.S. travel.
Interstate 30 is a major east–west highway in the southern United States, connecting the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex in Texas with Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas. Spanning approximately 366 miles, I-30 serves as a vital corridor for commercial trucking, regional travel, and access to multiple major cities along its route.
Starting in Fort Worth, Texas, Interstate 30 travels east through Dallas, where it intersects with several key highways, including I-35E and I-45. The segment between Fort Worth and Dallas is known locally as the Tom Landry Freeway. As it leaves the urban sprawl of the Metroplex, I-30 passes through Texarkana, a unique twin city that straddles the Texas-Arkansas border. This area marks the transition from the dense metro environment to the more rural, forested landscapes of southwest Arkansas.
In Arkansas, I-30 continues northeast through Hope, Prescott, and Malvern before reaching its eastern terminus in North Little Rock, where it intersects with Interstate 40, a major cross-country route. Along the way, it connects with regional arteries and provides access to state parks, historical sites, and industrial hubs. Its role as a freight corridor cannot be overstated, particularly for goods moving between Texas and the Southeastern United States.
