This year saw the beginning of two important projects that, although distinct, are closely related. In June, the Tulsa and Little Rock Engineer Districts held public hearings to get feedback for the long-discussed and finally funded establishing of the 12-foot navigation channel along the 445-mile length of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS). The project was enabled with a boost from funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, received in March. The project's first phase will be a new environmental study. The last comprehensive study of the Arkansas River happened in 2005. |
