I took a trip to North Arkansas last weekend. It's been awhile since I've driven on the roads I was on, and made some notable observations:
1) US 167 is greatly improved with more 4-lane running south of Little Rock, and the 60 m.p.h. speed limit on the 5-lane rural portions. Definitely made the trip home quicker.

2) On US 63 north of El Dorado (ex-AR 15 between El Dorado & Pine Bluff), there has been a flood of clearview on it's control point mileage signs, and the new signs put up to label ALL of the creeks flowing under the bridges.
3) The new 4-lane divided stretch of US 167 in El Dorado now has AR 7 signs running concurrent with US 167 (another great change

), but the signs stop showing up south of US 82. What's funny: there are no US 63 signs on the new stretch on the south-bound lanes from the Warren exit to US 82.
4) The Ouachita River "dump" on US 167 is now a 60 m.p.h. 5-lane miracle...never thought I would see this improvement.
