The major through route in Fayetteville is [[Interstate 49]]/[[U.S. Route 71 in Arkansas|US 71]]. The [[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]]. 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 on March 28, 2014,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.arkansashighways.com/forums/I-49-approval-north.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=May 26, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140527215757/http://www.arkansashighways.com/forums/I-49-approval-north.pdf |archive-date=May 27, 2014 }}</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 the [[Fayetteville–Springdale–Rogers Metropolitan Area|Northwest Arkansas metro]]. area. Future plans for the I-49 corridor include completion of a freeway segment through [[Western Arkansas]] to Texarkana.

Other major north–south routes in Fayetteville include [[Arkansas Highway 471|US 71B]], which was the predecessor to I-49/US 71. This route is now mostly designated College Avenue in Fayetteville and features dozens of restaurants and stores. To the east of College Avenue is the oldest road in Fayetteville, [[Arkansas Highway 265]]. This route first was used by [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]] as the [[Great Osage Trail]], followed by [[American Civil War|Civil War]] troops bound for [[Fort Smith, Arkansas]], the [[Trail of Tears]], the [[Butterfield Overland Mail]] stagecoach route, and later still the [[telegraph]]. To the west of College Avenue is [[Gregg Avenue]], which contains many student-oriented apartments along its shoulders and further west is [[Arkansas Highway 112|Garland Avenue]]. This route runs along the [[campus of the University of Arkansas]] in south Fayetteville, with apartments and duplexes along its northern routing.

====Public transportation====
The city of Fayetteville has two major providers of public transportation. [[Razorback Transit]] is a free bus system centered on the [[campus of the University of Arkansas]] with routes to other Fayetteville destinations such as Dickson Street or the [[Northwest Arkansas Mall]]. [[Ozark Regional Transit]] runs throughout both Washington and [[Benton County, Arkansas|Benton]] counties and is a broader bus-based regional transit system. [[Jefferson Lines]] provides intercity bus service connecting Fayetteville to much of the Midwest.

====Aviation====
[[Drake Field]], formerly Fayetteville Municipal Airport, is owned by the city and serves [[general aviation]]. The nearest airport for commercial flights is [[Northwest Arkansas National Airport]] (XNA), 17 miles northwest of the city. The airport opened in 1998. [[Drake Field]] receives many sports charters year round because of the [[Arkansas Razorbacks]] using the airport.
