My friend told me that her parents, who live off of AR 112 south of Bentonville, were going to have part of their property seized via eminent domain because ArDOT was going to straighten AR 112. Does anybody know anything about this, and is it going to be a 2 lane road, a 4 lane divided highway or a 5 lane Arkansas Freeway?

I opened a thread about it in 2020.  The earlier links in the thread appear to have been 404 retired by ARDOT's webmaster, but the latter posts still pull up.

ARDOT open house for AR-112 improvements

To summarize, it'll be 4 lane divided with bike path the whole way from Fayetteville where it drops to 2 lane currently to Bentonville where it picks back up near AR-12.  They are straightening it out starting north of Pleasant Grove Rd towards the east to cut out some of the sharp turns and connect up to the segment straight south in Bentonville where the 4 lane divided picks up again.  Much to my chagrin, they are also installing 27 roundabouts in all the different projects that make up the overall upgrade.

EDIT:  Here is the project in particular that you referenced.
West Wallis Road to Highway 12 (Highway 112) Benton County -- Jobs 090514 and 090636 Location and Design Public
