At Malvern, drivers can use [[U.S. Route 70 in Arkansas|US 70]] or [[U.S. Route 270 in Arkansas|US 270]] to travel into historic [[Hot Springs, Arkansas|Hot Springs]] or beyond into [[Ouachita National Forest]]. There, US 70 and US 67 join I-30 and stay with the Interstate into the Little Rock city limits. Northeast of Malvern, I-30 passes through [[Benton, Arkansas|Benton]] before reaching the [[Little Rock, Arkansas|Little Rock]] city limits.<ref>{{cite web |title = Bus Crash near Benton Kills Child, Injures 45 Others |url = http://www.magnoliareporter.com/news_and_business/regional_news/article_dc597f38-f70d-11e8-b907-ffaa64fce868.html |website = Magnolia Reporter |date = December 3, 2018 |access-date = December 23, 2018 }}</ref> From Benton to its end at I-40, I-30 is a six-lane highway with up to 85,000 vehicles per day.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}} As I-30 enters Little Rock, [[Interstate 430|I-430]] leaves its parent route to create a western bypass of the city.

I-530 travels {{convert|46|mi|km}} south to [[Pine Bluff, Arkansas|Pine Bluff]]. At this three-way junction of Interstates, I-30 turns due north for the final few miles of its route.
