摘要：	A channel-deepening project that has been talked about for 20 years is underway on the Arkansas River. The Tulsa and Little Rock Engineer Districts have begun a required environmental study to guarantee a navigation channel of the Arkansas River to 12 feet along a 445-mile length. The 12-foot depth was already authorized in 2004, but it was never previously funded. The current project was able to be initiated thanks to $96.6 million in funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, received in March. The project was authorized by Congress in 2005 but was given no funding at the time. In February, the Little Rock District received an added $4.1 million in the Fiscal Year 23 Work Plan. On March 3, the district allocated $3.3 million in operation and maintenance funds to provide reliable navigation on the MKARNS. The design phase will last until 2025, when the construction phase will begin.
