New US 59 now open...

[route56]

... and I have photos from the new freeway, as well as a couple other highway-related oddities, including a "backward" sign on US  24 and a "old school" I-35 shield that was posted as a direct consequence of the new US 59.

The gallery is located at http://gallery2.route56.com/v/Season15/Mar10/033009/, here are the thumbnails to the individual photos.

There are old school I-30 and I-40 signs all over the Little Rock/North Little Rock metro area.  I didn't get any pictures but I think Alps did.

Arkansas still regularly uses that standard.  I-55 is also very commonly found.
