County roads update and Conway water projects: ARP planning funds noted

Apr 14, 2026

Faulkner County staff updated the committee on three road projects (Skunk Hollow/286, Hwy 25/Elliott stoplight, Wooster roundabout) and discussed ARP-funded planning for a Conway pipeline and a downstream treatment plant; officials said ARP funds must be used by year-end and timeline to construction could be many years.

The full story

Tom (first referenced by the chair) briefed the committee on three major county transportation projects and related water planning work. He said pre-construction on Skunk Hollow and 286 is complete and construction is expected to begin in May, though procurement for stoplight electronics may cause delays. A stoplight design at Highway 25 and Elliott Road will advance after public input indicated the signal is warranted. A Wooster roundabout is in planning with bidding and work expected in 2025.
