I-49 Coming to Missouri

[msunat97]

Today, I managed to make it up to Missouri to check the progress of I-49.

The interchange at MO 90 near Noel appears to be almost ready for paving.

There is a flyover under construction on I-49 at US 71, I'm guessing for NB 49 to merge with NB 71.

I did manage to get photos, which I will post on the I-49 Fakebook page in the next day or two.

Thanks US71.  I'll be thru there at Easter & I'll try to get some photos if I'm not driving that leg of the trip.

I have posted a few photos for I-49 at MO 90 and I-49 at US 71 near Pineville, I'm still sorting, so I may be adding a couple more photos later.

40/29 News has posted a small update on the I-49 construction. Paving on the Missouri section should begin in the next month or so.  Arkansas is nearly complete.

Well, Arkansas is done @ the border between the states at least it seems. lol. Look @ 1:05 of the video.  Everything is painted, and signage is already up!

I'm curious. Is the completion of that interchange near Bentonville (where 49 will split off from US71)around the same time? I tried finding a completion date but couldn't find anything.

Yes...the interchange should be done at the same time so that the new segment opens at once.  Good luck finding anything on the Ar DOT site.

Lol I am not a fan of that new ARDOT site. And I think they only go and update the CAP website like maybe once or twice a year (they might update it more often but it sure doesn't seem like it).

I usually write ARDOT if I can't find what I want

I've been really impressed with how fast the work is getting finished once they got the ball rolling on the funding. I'm hoping the Arkansas River bridge gets funded soon.

I hear a lot of talk, but there seems to be very little action.

Wait, ArDOT finally updated their site?

Yep, it is a much more modern and visually pleasing one than the last, which had been in place for over a decade.

Out of 2003, you say?

New release from Missouri DOT about the I-49 interchange near Pineville.  Good to see this activity happening.  They looked close as I was thru there on March 31.

Now if only Google Maps would update their satellite image to show construction of the Missouri portion of the Interstate 49 Bella Vista Bypass, then we'd really be in business.

Well, Arkansas is done @ the border between the states at least it seems. lol. Look @ 1:05 of the video.  Everything is painted, and signage is already up!

Here's a still:



Does anyone know what bridge that is? Is it Mill Creek or perhaps Edinburgh Road?

So what you're saying is US71 hasn't been routed onto the Bella Vista Bypass?

[US71]

Mill Creek or maybe Rattlesnake Hollow is my best gyess

Well, seeing as it is looking southward at the AR/MO state line....

The curve in the distance is just off of the lower edge of the linked map image.  The bridge is Edinburgh Rd.

Did MoDOT set the girders last night over I-49 SB?  Google Maps never showed any traffic delays in that area.
