Join us for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate this project, which involved upgrading the previous two-lane roadway to arterial street standards between SE 14th St and the 8th St roundabout. This upgrade includes an expanded four-lane roadway with center medians, sidewalks, and a 10-foot multi-use trail on the west side of the road. These improvements will provide a vital connection to the intersection at SE 14th St, Northwest Arkansas Community College, and the 8th St interchange. This project was made possible through the efforts of the City of Bentonville Transportation Department, the design engineer McClelland Consulting Engineers, Inc., and the primary contractor APAC-Central, Inc.
