Big Rock is the name now given to a 200-foot bluff located on the north bank of the Arkansas River in North Little Rock. It is the first major outcrop of rock along the river, 121 miles upstream from the confluence of the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers and about 2 miles upstream from a smaller outcrop known as the Little Rock, where the capital city of Arkansas developed.
A total of $16.5 million in federal grant money was awarded to 13 different cities and counties across Central Arkansas to make certain intersections, trails and street segments safer and more environmentally friendly, according to Metroplan, the region s long-term transportation planning agency.
