Relocation onto U.S. 49

[edit]

Significant modifications need to be made to both this article and the main U.S. 63 article to reflect its 2019 relocation onto a different concurrency from Brinkley to Jonesboro. Most of the lengthy I-40/55/555 concurrency was replaced with a much shorter concurrency with U.S. 49 from the Brinkley exit on I-40 to the Southwest Drive exit on I-555 in Jonesboro. (It remains concurrent with I-40 from Hazen to Brinkley, and with I-555 from the Southwest Drive exit to the end of I-555.) The Marked Tree & Jonesboro business routes were also eliminated as part of this change.. AASHTO approval for the change is here; the ARDOT minute order (2019-050) making the change is here. I have a photo of the signed U.S. 49-63 concurrency just north of Brinkley if needed. However, the changes required to this article are beyond my expertise so I ask other Wikipedians to take care of this significant change. --RBBrittain (talk) 04:32, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Action is also needed on the I-555 article as it still assumes it is concurrent with U.S. 63 for its entire route, instead of just the northern four miles. --RBBrittain (talk) 04:53, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Just getting started on this, do you know if US 63 is signed completely along US 49 through the new overlap, or just at the termini? Brandonrush Woo pig sooie! 13:55, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
