HWY. 70 - HWY. 67B (SEL. Secs.) (S)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $1,403,396.26 to the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT) on May 27, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This Formula Grant funds mill and overlay work on selected sections of Highway 70 and Highway 67B in Arkansas. Mill and overlay projects involve milling (removing) the existing asphalt surface layer and applying a new overlay of asphalt, which preserves and extends the serviceable life of existing highway infrastructure while improving surface conditions and safety.

As a formula-funded award under the Federal-aid Highway Program authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, this funding is part of the annual allocation provided to Arkansas based on statutory formulas for highway preservation and improvement activities. The project is administered by ArDOT in accordance with FHWA oversight requirements, with the State DOT responsible for project selection, design, environmental compliance, and construction management within the parameters of federal and state transportation priorities.
