LITTLE ROCK (12-11) – A proposed amendment to the Arkansas Department of
Transportation’s (ARDOT) Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for
Federal Fiscal Years 2019-2022 is now available for public comment.

The purpose of this proposed STIP amendment is to move construction funding from an
Interstate 49 interchange improvement project at Highways 62/180 in Northwest Arkansas
to four Interstate rehabilitation projects on Interstate 40 and Interstate 55. The interchange
improvement project will not be ready for construction within the timeframe of this STIP;
therefore, this funding will be used to accelerate the Interstate rehabilitation projects that
will be ready for construction ahead of schedule. Project development will not be
interrupted on the interchange improvement project. Please see attached map.

The public is invited to review and comment on the contents of this proposed STIP
amendment by December 31, 2019. The amendment may also be reviewed at the ARDOT
Central Office or the State Clearinghouse. For more information, or to request a copy of this
proposed STIP amendment by mail, contact the ARDOT Program Management Division at
(501) 569-2262.
