PULASKI COUNTY (10-25) – Additional cameras have been set-up to monitor traffic on
U.S. Highway 67 throughout the Jacksonville area in anticipation of high volumes due to the
Little Rock Air Force Base Air Show this weekend, according to Arkansas Department of
Transportation (ARDOT) officials.
Eight portable cameras have been strategically located along the route and in addition to
five cameras already in place. These 13 cameras will provide event organizers and law
enforcement with constant situational awareness of traffic as it makes its way through the
area.
The cameras are also publicly available on the ARDOT Traveler Information site
www.IDriveArkansas.com. Cameras specifically being used to monitor air show traffic are
depicted on the site with blue-colored icons. Motorists attending the air show are reminded
to “Know Before You Go” and check travel conditions before heading out. Delays are
expected.
Additionally, ARDOT is widening U.S. Highway 67 between Vandenberg Blvd. and State
Highway 5 in Cabot. Although two lanes remain available in both directions, the work zone
is being carefully watched in order to facilitate fast mitigation of vehicle accidents and
breakdowns.
The Little Rock Air Force Base has asked the Department to help spread the word on how
to access the air show from U.S. Highway 67. See attached for a map of those routes and
note the restrictions for entry.
