The major through route in Springdale is [[Interstate 49]]/[[U.S. Route 71 in Arkansas|US 71]]/[[U.S. Route 62 in Arkansas|US 62]] (the concurrent routes are unsigned and thus the route is simply known as I-49 in Springdale). This [[Controlled-access highway|fully controlled access]], four-lane [[Controlled-access highway|expressway]] is a discontinuous piece of a route ultimately planned to connect [[Kansas City, Missouri]] to [[New Orleans, Louisiana]]. Formerly designated as [[Interstate 540 (Arkansas)|Interstate 540]] with the re-designation as Interstate 49 being granted by the [[U.S. Department of Transportation]] [[Federal Highway Administration]] in 2014,<ref>{{ cite web |title= Correspondence from FHWA to AHTD |url= http://www.arkansashighways.com/forums/I-49-approval-north.pdf |publisher= FHWA |date= March 28, 2014 |location= Little Rock, AR |access-date= May 25, 2015 }}</ref> the highway became the first freeway in the area when it was completed in the 1990s to relieve the former US 71 (now [[Arkansas Highway 471|US 71B]]) of a much-increased demand of through travelers following the unanticipated and rapid growth of Northwest Arkansas. Major construction along the I-49 corridor included the [[Bella Vista Bypass]], which was opened to traffic north of Springdale in October 2021. Future plans for the I-49 corridor include completion of a freeway segment through the [[Ouachita Mountains]] to Texarkana.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gill |first=Todd |date=October 1, 2021 |title=I-49 Bella Vista bypass now complete |url=https://fayettevilleflyer.com/2021/10/01/i-49-bella-vista-bypass-now-complete/ |access-date=April 23, 2024 |website=Fayetteville Flyer}}</ref>
