Dedication of new  AR162  (http://www.swtimes.com/news/20170709/road-project-in-alma-to-be-dedicated)will be this Tuesday. Just don't expect to drive it yet.

"The road ... is expected to [open] in the next several weeks"

US64:
Add new AR162_E

US64BusAlm:
Will probably not be re-extended to the 64/71Bus/162 junction:

Once Arkansas 162 is complete, the old highway — which runs from U.S. Route 64 to Fayetteville Avenue down to Main Street and east to the new section of highway — will be turned over to the city to become part of Alma’s downtown streetscaping project.

That being said, will US64Bus...
• remain as-is, ending at Fayetteville Ave?
• be cut back to end at the new AR162 intersection?
• be eliminated entirely?
Not knowing this, it seems the safest thing to do is take the "no-build" approach and make only non-newsworthy edits until more is known:
• AR162 -> FayAve -- The primary AR162 label is not in use, only the AR162_S AltLabel, so nobody's .list files be affected.
• Add point for new AR162

There are still two sign assemblies north of I-40 indicating you are approaching 71B. The ramp signs for both EB and WB I-40 still indicate 71 and 71B.

Based on this, I'm going to keep US71BusFor's terminus as-is, at least for the time being.
Thus, existing point labels on US71BusFor and US64 can stay.
This map (https://www.arkansashighways.com/maps/cities/alma_rudy_city.pdf) helps with point placement.
