Title: Is the razorback on the AR 16 overpass over I-49 still there?
Post by: bugo on July 04, 2014, 08:53:30 PM
When I was a kid, I always enjoyed driving down what was then signed as US 62-71 and seeing the Hog on the overpass for AR 16 west (I think it was AR 16.)  Is it still there?  If not, when was it removed?  I haven't been that way in quite a while.

I think it is scheduled to be replaced as part of (another) widening project on Wedington Dr (AR 16/112S )

Exit 62 and 64 are scheduled to be revamped although to my knowledge final plans have not been approved

That's the classic Slobber Hog all new overpasses in Fayetteville should have a Hog lime the new insets of Arkansas in others.

At this time we still don't know WHAT we will do at this interchange. We will hold an additional public meeting to discuss this project.

You could sign AR 16 along I-49 so it is easier to follow this highway that goes more than halfway across the state.  Two signs is all that it would take.
