Map of Highway 16 utility relocations and upgrades with lines to be relocated highlighted in red

What is this project?

The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) will be widening 15th Street (Hwy. 16), between S. College Ave. and Huntsville Rd. During the widening of this stretch of highway, the water and sewer lines in the area will need to be relocated. Some of the water and sewer lines will be upgraded when the relocations take place. 

Why is it important?

The water and sewer relocations must be done to facilitate the ARDOT widening project. The increased capacity of any lines upgraded during the relocation process will benefit the area in the future.

What is the current status?

McClelland Consulting Engineers, Inc. has completed the engineering design for the water/sewer relocations and water main replacements. Cornerstone Construction of Russellville, Inc. was awarded the low bid and began work in May of 2020.
