The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), will conduct a Location and Design Public Hearing from 4-7 p.m. Thursday, September 7 to present and discuss the proposed design plans for widening Highway 65B from Highway 64 to Bruce Street in Conway. 

The hearing will be held at the Conway Parks & Recreation, Don Owens Sports Center, 10 Lower Ridge Road in Conway, AR.

The project also includes installing a storm sewer system to address flooding issues, updating the existing signal at the intersection of 6th Street and Highway 65B, and realigning and adding a traffic signal to the intersection of College Avenue/3rd Street and Highway 65B.
