Meet Mack! 🐾

Mack is one of our talented K-9 officers with a passion for narcotics detection. He absolutely loves putting that sniffer to work.

His favorite reward is his red Kong ball, and when he’s off duty, he likes to spend his time playing with his canine friends.

Although it was 70 degrees and sunny today, ARDOT's Winter Weather Strike Team spent the day training, testing equipment, and practicing real-world scenarios and communication.

This will ensure that by the time winter weather hits, our crews are rehearsed and ready.

Two states, one bridge, and now — one name that carries a whole lot of history.

Today in Memphis, it became official. The new I-55 bridge will be called “Kings’ Crossing” after three icons — B.B. King; Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; and the King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley.

To honor our fallen workers, ARDOT will be hosting a dedication for our new Fallen Worker Memorial next Thursday, October 9.

Statement from ARDOT Director Jared Wiley

[Arkansas Department of Transportation @myARDOT]

ARDOT Director Jared Wiley spoke at the ribbon-cutting for the newly restored Old River Bridge in Saline County - the oldest bridge in Arkansas.

It took many community stakeholders to save this piece of Arkansas history and restore it so it can be part of our future too.

[Arkansas Department of Transportation @myARDOT]

Thank you, @AAA_Travel and the @arkansas_asp Arkansas Highway Safety Office, for inviting ARDOT to be part of the "Slow Down, Move Over" press event this morning.

We're always grateful for the opportunity to promote road safety, especially ahead of a busy holiday weekend.

I'm truly thankful for Henry's medical team, our supportive family, and my remarkable wife for taking the lead caring for our son.
