The Federal Highway Administration has identified the chosen route, for the Future Interstate 57 (I-57) corridor between Walnut Ridge and the Missouri State line, clearing the way for the next phase of project development.
The Future I-57 corridor is critical for commerce in Arkansas and will increase mobility between the south central United States and the Midwest,” said Alec Farmer, Chairman of the Arkansas Highway Commission.
The Selected Alternative begins at the Highway 67/Highway 412 interchange in Walnut Ridge, extends north across the Black River east of Pocahontas, then northeast towards Corning, and finally north to the Missouri State line.
