Big improvements are on the way for Stateline Avenue on the Arkansas side of Texarkana.

Big improvements are on the way for Stateline Avenue on the Arkansas side of Texarkana.

The Arkansas Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting on August 7 to discuss the first phase of a major rehab project. ARDOT and TXDOT plan to repave the 2.5-mile stretch between 7th Street and Arkansas Boulevard starting in 2028.

The work will include new sidewalks, driveway reconstruction, drainage upgrades, and better traffic signals.

A future phase may add a roundabout at Arkansas and Texas Boulevards, but that’s not part of the current plan.

ARDOT is also looking to widen a four-mile section of I-30 from the Texas state line to I-49. That project could begin next year.

The public meeting is from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Beech Street First Baptist Church.
