The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $495,261.48 to the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT) on May 8, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This Formula Grant funds a major widening project on the roadway corridor extending from Poinsett County Line to Jonesboro (South). The project represents a significant highway infrastructure improvement initiative designed to enhance transportation capacity and safety on this regional corridor.

As a federally assisted state-administered program, ArDOT utilizes these funds to plan, design, and construct the major widening improvements in accordance with Federal Highway Administration standards and environmental review requirements. The project falls within the broader scope of the Highway Planning and Construction program, which supports state departments of transportation in developing and improving highway infrastructure to enhance mobility and support economic development. This award contributes to ArDOT's comprehensive transportation infrastructure portfolio, which has received over $200 million in federal grant funding across multiple highway construction, preservation, and safety enhancement initiatives during fiscal years 2025 and 2026.
