Southwest Trail Update
Pulaski, Saline, and Garland Counties are working to develop a trail to connect to Hot Springs National Park, the Old River Bridge on the Saline River, the Little Rock Central High School Historic Site, and the Arkansas River Trail System that allows for pedestrians and bicyclists to safely enjoy outdoor recreation while providing an economic stimulus to the local and regional economies.
In October 2020, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approved the Environmental Assessment (EA) and issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), which cleared the 60-mile trail project for engineering design. Adjustments were made to the Selected Alternative and a Virtual Public Meeting was held on May 3, 2022. Design is progressing through each project segment as the planning and development efforts continue.
