Ahead of schedule and under budget

The road is still on track for a late Sept/Early Oct Opening

You're telling me the "Chinese Democracy" of Midwest construction is more than vaporware?

I think I'm going to need, like, triple confirmation when it actually happens. 

(Many metaphors died to bring you this post.)

Still vaporware. (A vaporway?)
Real Soon Now!

The ribbon cutting is scheduled for September 30th.  (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=30023.0)

Open to traffic October 1 (ostensibly 2021).:

Bella Vista Bypass to open Oct. 1 as part of Interstate 49

The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT) announced Friday (Sept. 17) the Bella Vista Bypass, or Missouri-Arkansas Connector, will open to traffic on Oct. 1. The completed highway will become a part of Interstate 49.

At 10 a.m. on Sept. 30, a ribbon-cutting celebration will take place to mark the completion of the 18.9-mile project. According to a news release, the new I-49 segment consisted of six projects totaling more than $220 million beginning in February 2011. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and Missouri Gov. Mike Parson will join state officials and legislators at the Arkansas-Missouri state line for the celebration.

Sadly, I was there just last week and have no plans to return to the area any time soon.

Future AR/MO point, that I've put in my MO I-49 file and will send when I get the St. Louis stuff figured out:

https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/pull/5171 includes the Bella Vista Bypass and most of the STL changes.

I-49: I removed the +0 AltLabel, as it's not needed for a freshly-added waypoint.
MO90: Committed as submitted. GooHolRd is now no longer needed for shaping, and many of the hidden points could be converted to visible or deleted.

Highway63, how do the changes look?

AR-72 wasn't updated.  Still has the 'AR549(*)' labels for it's two intersections with I-49.

Appears to be good on my end. Leaving GooHolRd for now at least.
