LITTLE ROCK — Matt Dellinger will discuss his book, Interstate 69: The Unfinished History of the Last Great American Highway, on Monday at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service.
Dellinger will speak from 6 to 7 p.m. about the 1,400-mile extension of I-69 south from Indianapolis that, if completed, would connect Canada to Mexico through Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. The highway plans have been in development for two decades, and while segments are under construction today, others may never be built.
A book signing will follow.
Dellinger has written for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, the Oxford American, Smithsonian, the Wall Street Journal magazine and The New York Times, and has reported on transportation and planning for the public radio show The Takeaway.
Seats for the Sturgis Hall lecture can be reserved by e-mailing publicprograms@ clintonschool.uasys.edu or by calling (501) 683-5239.
