Notes
- Although it competes with an Interstate 57 extension, I-30 may continue to meet up with Interstate 55 in Missouri by following U.S. 60 and U.S. 67 from Little Rock. Also, if I-30 is extended, there are plans for an I-730 spur along Arkansas State Highway 226 from the corridor to Jonesboro, Arkansas.
- The section of I-30 between Dallas and Fort Worth is designated the Tom Landry Freeway in honor of the long-time Dallas Cowboys coach. Though I-30 passes well south of Texas Stadium, the Cowboys' current home, their new stadium in Arlington, Texas will be near I-30. However, the freeway designation was made before Arlington voted to build the new stadium. This section was previously known as the Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike, which preceded the Interstate system. Although tolls had not been collected for many years, it was still known as "Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike" until receiving its present name.
- A North Carolina real estate developer would like I-30 extended from Arkansas to Wilmington, North Carolina. As part of this proposal U.S. Route 74 would be upgraded to an interstate between Charlotte, North Carolina and Wilmington. I-30 would travel from Arkansas to North Carolina using existing interstate routes Interstate 40 and Interstate 26 to US 74 and then Interstate 485 around Charlotte. North Carolina transportation officials said they would look into the idea.
