Arkansans in Congress say $855,000
dollars has been released by the federal Transportation Department
to begin work on two projects in Central Arkansas. One of the
projects is to improve traffic flow at the intersection of
Interstates 630 and 430 in west Little Rock. The other, called the
Rock Island Parkway, is an effort to acquire and preserve an
abandoned railroad right-of-way corridor parallel to Interstate 30,
between Little Rock and Benton.
The announcement was made today by Senators Blanche Lincoln and
Mark Pryor, and Congressman Vic Snyder, whose district includes
Pulaski County.
The I-630-430 interchange project is to get almost $464,000 of the money, while the Rock Island Parkway is to get
$391,000.
