No 29 Highway Progress Hopes Curbed by Arkansas Debate
Hope Arkansas lawmakers may cement No 29 as a hard surfaced route fades as delegates meet the State Highway Commission in Little Rock. Albert Graves led the push for No 29, citing its strategic value to Barksdale Field and noting funding is controlled by the War Department, with limited state funds and upcoming bond refunds. Officials expect a cautious start, likely a lower cost project rather than full concrete surfacing, as the two year program under Governor Adkins begins.
