You must drive I-49 between Fayetteville and Rogers often, lol. I said that when they widened it, go for 8 lanes or build the bridges and overpasses to accommodate it later.

Same here. Thankfully they're doing some of it with the Wedington and MLK interchange projects, but that's only for Fayetteville. It's pretty much already needed anywhere from the Don Tyson exit up to Exit 86. And it already needs 6 laning from the Pea Ridge exit to the US-71 exit at Bella Vista.

I couldn’t agree more with the bold part (hopefully I bolded it from the IPad) I drive that section regularly.

IIRC, Wedington will be a Diverging Diamond

Not unless they made significant changes to the plan, which was a parclo loop for northbound I-49 from eastbound Wedington.

I was shocked that OTA did actually provide for an expansion to 8 lanes when they widened I-44 between Kellyville and Sapulpa. All bridges are already wide enough and all overpasses have piers set back far enough so the future expansion will be a breeze. I say that because maybe there's hope for ArDOT to wake up to this.
