2 roads called hubs for alternative fuel
Two segments of Arkansas roadways are ready to be alternative fuel corridors, according to a news release from the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality.
The U.S. Department of Transportation designated Interstate 40, from the Tennessee border to Conway, and U.S. 67/167, from Little Rock to Searcy, as being ready for signage that indicates the roads are hubs of compressed natural gas infrastructure, the release said.
The Environmental Quality Department and the Transportation Department are working to deploy the signs, according to the release.
Four other road segments are awaiting designations for compressed natural gas availability but do not yet have enough infrastructure. Another two road segments are awaiting designations to be electric vehicle corridors but do not yet have enough infrastructure.
