Will the current US 412 become US 412B when the bypass is completed?

I guarantee they will. Unless they change their policy on business routes. When a bypass of a town is built in Arkansas, the old route typically becomes as a business route. The interchanges on each end of the bypass will flow directly into the business route and the business route will be easily reached by the mainline.

Except in cases like 62B at Fayetteville and Rogers. Also Flippin.

The old route through Waldron was originally a part of AR 28. It was renumbered US 71B soon after the bypass was completed.

Is there a map of this project?

Circa 2006 (note I-540)

Thanks! What part will be tolled? East of I-49?

Only the XNA access road.

Thanks. Had to see how far out this was - it's pretty far out of there but in respect to other airports that were built out in the sticks at their time (Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky, Dayton, etc.), it's not really that much different.

The land was cheap.

It didn't take long at all to drive what opened up.  Speed limit is just 65.  They had the right 2 lanes of southbound I-49 closed a half hour ago hanging the new AR 612 Exit 77 sign on the gantry there at the Lowell exit (78).

That's great!
I take pictures of road signs, that's about it.

General rule of thumb: Just stay in the "Traffic Control" section of the forum and you'll be fine.

Interesting in that last pic that Lowell is the north control city and not Rogers, Bentonville or even Joplin.

I'm wondering where West 612 is

Google Maps really flips out when going eastbound on this stretch.  Keeps wanting to put me on the side roads that are parallel to it, which makes for annoying rerouting.  Don't think it's my phone as it doesn't do that anywhere else.  Not that you really need Google Maps on a stretch of road with only a single exit.

Maybe because there's no Street View yet?

I think he's driving it and it keeps giving him directions as if he were on side streets...

I believe an extension east to Highway 265 will be in the next STIP. It will be huge for the area if true, especially if Bethel Heights comes into Springdale

The situation between Ark 112 and I-49 on US 412/Sunset is not getting any better.  The western half would be of more immediate benefit,  although both at the same time would be a god send. The Ark 265 back to US 412 out by Sonora is the least needed segment.

IMO, the next segment will be to the west of 112 so XNA  can have a southern access road.

That certainly would be more beneficial.  Another "connector" segment before completing at least one bypass termination onto US-412 would just aggravate the current traffic situation on US-412.  This is supposed to be, after all, a bypass.

Highway 612 west to Highway 112/XNA access road is in for $15m of right of way acquisition in 2021.

I would expect the east segment to Highway 265 done by 2028. The rest may never happen, or be 30 years off

2028? I may be around to see it.

Any mention of an airport road?

 They show the XNA Connector on the on the potential project map for 30 million. But back in the fall when they Had open house hearing  on the the road there was 3 different routes so I haven't seen a time line when they would select one of the routes.

If they are going to build the west leg of the bypass, ARDOT needs to figure out where the airport road is going to be...especially since they are paying for it
