Want an update on the improvements coming to all our highways in Saline County? Benton, Bryant, Hot Springs Village, Lonsdale, Haskell and everyone who travels the Interstate – watch this video for all the news.
The Director of the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department, Scott Bennett, recently spoke in Benton to update residents about the upcoming improvements on our county’s highways. The update was part of a Legislative Breakfast – these are scheduled regularly while the Arkansas Legislature is in session, so we can hear from our local Senators and Representatives about current bills coming for a vote. The public is invited to these breakfasts. See details on the next meeting here: https://www.mysaline.com/leg-breakfast
