The first section of the bypass will be built on the southern end, in the area of Hiwasse, AR.
Yes, TIGER does have deadlines for beginning a project.
The first project is scheduled for a February 23rd, 2011, letting.
Right of Way has been acquired for four lanes. The two lanes being built next year will be two of those future four lanes.

I wonder what the temporary designation of the road will be before it's completed. AR 540? AR 49? AR x49?
Grzrd:
^I asked your question re temporary designation.
Answer:

Shall we start a betting pool? 149 (NO), 349? 749? 949? :)
Grzrd:
Don't rule out recycling of 549. Doddridge to LA state line might be finished before Hiwasse section of Bypass needs to be designated. TIGER just says you have to start project by a certain time; it doesn't say you have to finish it in a timely manner. :biggrin:

I would think 549 would remain until it's all done, unless you redesignate it US 71 (in which case, would 471 return from the dead? ) :hmmm:
On second thought:
Considering how often Arkansas duplicates numbers (37, 43, 45, 74, 103) it could be another section of 549 :-D
