Interstate 440 (I-440) and Arkansas Highway 440 (AR 440), in the central part of the U.S. state of Arkansas, form a partial loop of 14.16 miles (22.79 km) connecting US 67, US 167, and I-40 with I-30 and I-530 near Little Rock. I-440, 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, near Clinton National Airport and the Port of Little Rock. The route is mostly a six-lane freeway. North of I-40, the route continues as AR 440 until it reaches US 67/US 167 in Jacksonville. This section is known as the North Belt Freeway. Highway 440 is proposed to eventually extend back to I-40 at I-430 between Maumelle and Little Rock.
