Interstate Road Net Is Taking Shape
LITTLE ROCK AP Arkansas accelerates interstate expansion after finishing the costly Greater Little Rock Expressway project completed with 25 million in construction and 12 million in right of way. The state moves to extend Route 45 into Mississippi County and push toward 1972 completion while pursuing by passes on I 40 and I 30 and cross-river connections on the Ouachita River. Ward Goodman says the goal remains on schedule for full completion by 1972, though half-system by 1964 is unlikely due to prioritizing difficult sections.
