What is this Project?
Installation of a traffic signal to manage traffic; connection of sidewalks on either side of the railroad tracks near the intersection.
Why is It Important?
This multi-lane 4-way stop is inefficient and difficult to traverse safely. With large volumes of traffic from nearby industries and the University of Arkansas athletic facilities, improvements are necessary to provide a sufficient level of service.
What is the Current Status?
Updated 02/06/23
The design for the traffic signal is complete. The plans have been submitted to ArDOT for permitting. Once the the ArDOT permit has been issued, this project will be ready to bid for construction.
When Will it be Completed?
Updated 02/06/23
The City expects to receive the ARDOT permit by February 2023. At that point, the bidding process can begin. It is expected that the bid opening will be held in late March or early April of 2023. Construction could then begin by July 2023.
How is it Funded?
Funding for the project comes from the Bond issue that voters approved in April 2019.
