Although, it would not surprise me if substantial parts of I-57 North of Walnut Ridge were made with a single concrete slab 5 lanes wide (plus outboard shoulders). A cable barrier would run down the middle of it. That's opposed to the normal configuration of two separate roadways and a big median in between.

The brochure linked above showed a typical section with a 60 foot grass median dividing the two roadways.

Good. Going cheap, like the BVB, with a minimal median, would be a regressive outcome. The BVB, however, used a narrow "urban" cross - section, due to cut requirements.

The Belle Vista Bypass was reasonable due to the mountainous terrain of the route.

"Mountainous." Compared to what we have out here in New Mexico, those are hills! :)

For the reconstruction/widening of Future I-57/US-67 through Jacksonville, it looks like they're currently doing pre-construction activities, with actual construction scheduled to start next month.

And preliminary schedule indicates 2027 for completing that segment. They'll likely be moving dirt on the segment between Walnut Ridge and Corning by then.
