Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in cooperation with the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD), is studying an access road located between Marked Tree and Payneway, Arkansas, in Poinsett County. This highway access road is proposed to be located adjacent to Highway 63 which will be converted to Interstate 555 (I-555) in the near future. Figure 1 shows the study area. The proposed project includes six bridges, which will span the St. Francis River and numerous waterbodies within the St. Francis Sunken Lands (Sunken Lands). The roadway typical cross- section (Figure 2) consists of two ten-foot (3.0 meter) wide travel lanes, one in each direction, with four-foot (1.2 meter) wide outside shoulders. The total length of the proposed project is approximately 4.7 miles (7.6 kilometers). PURPOSE AND NEED Purpose of the Project The purpose of the proposed project is to construct an access road that will provide an alternate route across the Sunken Lands once access control has been established to convert Highway 63 to I-555. Needs Analysis Highway 63, future I-555, provides the only transportation artery across the Sunken Lands in the study area. Once this existing highway is converted to interstate standards,
