U.S. 67 to Become I-57

[skirby]

Highway 67 starting at I-40 in North Little will become "Future I-57".  By doing this sometime in the future the highway will link up to I-57 in Missouri creating a direct link to Chicago. When this happens I expect traffic out of Missouri heading west now using I-55 and I-40 through West Memphis will move over to I-57. The results of that could be that Little Rock and Central Arkansas becomes a major transportation hub.

67 is now open as a divided 4 lane from I-40 in NLR to Walnut Ridge. Also, 226 from 67 at Cash to Jonesboro is now open as a 4 lane. It has been a lone time coming to connect Jonesboro and LR with a 4 lane route.
