Dallas County is proud to announce that it has received an Unpaved Road Grant from the Arkansas Department of Agriculture for a $100,000+ infrastructure improvement project on Dallas County Road 201 (Ben Few Campground Road).

The project will elevate 1,500 feet of roadway by 1 to 2 feet and install one 72-inch smooth-bottom arch culvert along with ten 36-inch round culverts. These improvements will greatly enhance water conveyance and help reduce flooding in the area.

This project reflects the ongoing commitment of Dallas County Judge Chris Stanfield, OEM Director Brooklyn McClellan, and the Dallas County Road Department to flood mitigation, protecting critical infrastructure and county resources.
