THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

According to 1,115 truckers surveyed for "Overdrive's" 10th annual Best Roads/Worst Roads survey, Arkansas' Interstate 40 (I-40) and I-30 are the worst roads in the nation. Truckers also identified Arkansas highways as worst overall. Next on the truckers' worst-road list were I-10 in Louisiana, I-5 and I-10 in California, I-80 and I-78 in Pennsylvania, and I-94 in Illinois. The most improved list included I-80/I-81 in Pennsylvania, I-20 in Louisiana, I-80 in Ohio, I-70 in Kansas, and I-94 in Illinois. Ironically, I-40 in Tennessee--Arkansas' neighbor to the east--is the best road in the nation, according to the survey, with I-75 in Florida and I-75 in Georgia winning second and third place honors, respectively.
