WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Thursday announced that two Arkansas airports will receive a total of $18 million for terminal improvements thanks to last year’s bipartisan infrastructure law.

Northwest Arkansas National Airport in Highfill will receive $13 million in funding while Texarkana Regional Airport will receive $5 million, according to figures from the Biden administration.

Kelly Johnson, chief operating officer for the Northwest Arkansas National Airport, said the money will help fund the construction of a skybridge between the parking deck and the building, along with the replacement of an existing elevator, among other changes.
