Oh, that's on me for not seeing there were workers around in that picture haha, I don't blame you. Probably won't be too much longer then!

All of these pics were taken after 6PM today, so that just goes to show how long rush hour(s) last in NWA now and how late they're working to get this done with the great weather we've had.  I guess that's the upside of being abnormally dry this year, but at least we're not in drought any longer here.

Cross-posting this post from the XNA Access Road thread:

From ARDOT's Facebook page:

"Work is going well on the new 4-lane connector road to the Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA). Construction is expected to wrap up in a few short months, and we're estimating a completion date of late 2026.
This new road is going to help shorten travel times, minimize delays, and will simply make accessing XNA much easier. Here are some photos of the progress."

If I'm reading this correctly, this will open the same time as the AR 612 (future US 412/I-42) segment 2 of the bypass around Springdale.
