The project will deliver complete streets improvements along E main street between maxwell street and lincoln street

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the City of Siloam Springs $470,990 on August 6, 2026, under the National Infrastructure Investments program (CFDA 20.933) to deliver complete streets improvements along E Main Street between Maxwell Street and Lincoln Street in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.

The project will construct phased asphalt improvements, with individual sections receiving temporary binder course and reopening to traffic while work continues on adjacent segments, minimizing long-term business disruption. Following completion of all sections, a final asphalt surface course will be placed. Intersections will receive curbed bump-outs to shorten pedestrian crossing distances, with roll-over curbs accommodating larger vehicles. Bicycle side paths will provide multi-modal transportation connectivity along E Main Street and into the downtown area.

Performance is scheduled through December 31, 2030. As a BUILD (formerly RAISE) grant for surface transportation capital investment with significant local or regional impact, this award is subject to reimbursement-basis accounting and audit under the Single Audit Act, with funds available for obligation through September 30, 2028, and expenditure through September 30, 2033 if properly obligated by that date.

Construction will be broken into phases to minimize long-term impacts on businesses along the project work zone. Individual sections will receive a temporary layer of asphalt binder course and RE-open to traffic while work continues on adjacent sections. Following completion of all sections, a final asphalt surface course will be placed. Intersections will be improved with curbed bump-outs to shorten pedestrian crossing distances, with roll-over curbs used to accommodate larger vehicles. Bicycle side paths will provide multi-modal transportation opportunities along E main street and into the downtown area.
