The blue dots shown on the route maps represent areas of significance to be avoided by the loop right-of-way.

The location and design selected to be acceptable to the City with concurrence of the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD), the Federal Highway Admininstration (FHWA), and Metroplan. The studies will document the National Enviromental Policy (NEPA) process. A functional preliminary design will be prepared for the selected alignment.

Again, Garver Engineers, Inc., provided planning and engineering services to the city to conduct the location and alignment studies for this project that resulted in the selection of Route A as the most economical and environmentally acceptable route for a western arterial loop.
