Project on Faulkner Lake Road to begin
The city of North Little Rock is set to break ground Monday on an improvement project for Faulkner Lake Road.
City officials will gather for a groundbreaking ceremony at 10 a.m., with actual work beginning in August.
The project is meant to mitigate flooding issues that have plagued residents in the area for years, according to a news release from the city. The project is estimated to cost $4.3 million, which will be split between the city and Pulaski County.
Greyhound station moves to I-40 site
Greyhound has moved its stop to Love's Travel Stop off Interstate 40 in North Little Rock. Last year, the coach bus line sold its downtown station to the city of North Little Rock, and as of last week was at its new stop.
The city has plans to demolish the former station located on East Washington Avenue and sell the property to a developer, Mayor Terry Hartwick told the Democrat-Gazette.
Those looking to purchase bus tickets in person can still do so at local retailers such as Walmart, 7-Eleven, CVS or Family Dollar.
