Scenic Highway 7 Drive Scenic Byway 7 in Arkansas, the State's First State-Designated Scenic Byway, and Travel Through Four of the State's Varied Geographical Regions RV Traveler's Roadmap to Scenic Highway 7 Drive Scenic Byway 7 in Arkansas, the state's first state-designated scenic byway, and travel through four of the state's varied geographical regions. Arguably one of the most scenic drives in America, the route begins on the south end within the West Gulf Coastal Plain, a region that saw an oil boom beginning in 1921 near El Dorado. 1 Highlights & Facts For The Ideal Experience Petit Jean State Park Trip Length: Roughly 290 miles, plus side trips Best Time To Go: Year round What to Watch Out For: Steep grades make some roads off limits to RVs. Must See Nearby Attractions: Little Rock (state capital) Eureka Springs (mountainside resort community) Ozark Folk Center State Park (exhibits on Ozark mountain culture, mountain view) 2 Traveler's Notes Mount Magazine State Park Near Arkadelphia, the route enters the Ouachita Mountains, famous for their quartz crystals, and passes by DeGray Lake, home of Arkansas's only resort state park. At Hot Springs, the byway journeys through the historic downtown and immediately in front of the famed Bathhouse Row of Hot Springs National Park. Continuing though the forested Ouachitas, it passes through the Ouachita National Forest and by Lake Nimrod, then reaches Russellville and crosses the more level terrain of the Arkansas River Valley. Leaving the valley, Scenic 7 ascends into the Ozark Mountains, famous for fall foliage, and the Ozark National Forest, and passes through the mountain town of Jasper on its way to Harrison. Just before Scenic 7 sharply twists its way down to Jasper, stop at the Cliff House Inn and Restaurant, for a great meal and amazing vistas of the "Grand Canyon of the Ozarks." A quaint small town square boasting several antique shops awaits visitors at Jasper. Across from the Newton County Courthouse is a legendary diner -- the Ozark Cafe. 3 What To See Along the Way Hot Springs Long Pool Recreation Area Lake Ouachita State Park Rotary Ann Overlook Ouachita National Forest Pedestal Rocks Holla Bend National Wildlife Ref.

    1 Year 2020 Comprehensive Development Plan City of Russellville, Arkansas INTRODUCTION Preparing for the future… the City of Russellville Year 2020 Comprehensive Development Plan identifies major issues facing the City’s continuous growth and development. It also provides a graphic guideline for official public policy to facilitate the orderly growth and development of the City’s emerging urban area. The Year 2020 Comprehensive Development Plan is a comprehensive and long-range physical growth plan for the City and the immediately surrounding area. The Plan represents desired land use patterns throughout the City in response to citizen input, projected population growth, utility service area, and various physical constraints imposed by the existing natural physical features of the area. The Plan is a graphic guideline for shaping the City’s future and provides a foundation for managing the City’s development. The Plan is represented by a graphic two-dimensional illustration that evolved from an 18-month process involving numerous meetings with city officials, planning commission members, various citizen groups and interested individuals. The Plan provides a consensus of Russellville’s desires relative to urban expansion for the City, the predominant types of land uses that should emerge. For a detailed discussion of the technical elements of the Russellville Year 2020 Comprehensive Development Plan, the following technical reports are available: • Existing Land Use and Capacity Analysis • Development Trends and Demand Analysis AUTHORITY AND PLANNING BOUNDARY The Planning authority for the City of Russellville to provide comprehensive planning is authorized by Arkansas State Statute Act 186 of 1957 as amended.

  • Environmental Assessment
    Job Number 012318 Tier 3 Categorical Exclusion Page 1 of 3 The Environmental Division reviewed the referenced project and has determined it falls within the definition of the Tier 3 Categorical Exclusion as defined by the ARDOT/FHWA Memorandum of Agreement on the processing of Categorical Exclusions. The following information is included for your review and, if acceptable, approval as the environmental documentation for this project. The proposed project would replace two bridges on Highway 7 over the Middle Fork of the Saline River in Garland County (Site 1) and Dry Run Creek in Perry County (Site 2), both within the boundary of the Ouachita National Forest. Total length of the project is approximately 0.5 mile. A project location map is enclosed. The existing roadway consists of two 11’ wide paved travel lanes with 2’ wide gravel shoulders at Site 1 and 2’ wide paved shoulders at Site 2. Existing right of way width averages 132’. Proposed improvements retain the two 11’ wide paved travel lanes, but increase the shoulder width to 6’ (2’ paved). The average proposed right of way width will be 187’ at Site 1 and 132’ at Site 2. Approximately 2.3 acres of additional permanent easement and 0.5 acre of temporary construction easement will be required for this project. To maintain traffic during construction, the Middle Fork Saline River bridge (Site 1) will be replaced using a temporary detour located 60’ east (downstream) of the existing bridge while the new bridge is constructed on the existing alignment. The Dry Run Creek bridge (Site 2) will be replaced approximately 80’ east (upstream) of the existing bridge.
