(File Photo/NWA Democrat-Gazette/Spencer Tirey) BENTONVILLE -- The Arkansas Department of Transportation will celebrate highway improvements in Northwest Arkansas made possible by the half-cent sales tax revenue dedicated to road and bridge projects. Arkansas Highway Commission Vice Chairman Philip Taldo and Commissioners Marie Holder and Keith Gibson will join state and local officials for the event from 5-7 p.m. tonight at Thaden Fieldhouse, 2205 S.W. I St., Bentonville. In 2012, Arkansas voters approved a constitutional amendment that established a 10-year, half-cent sales tax intended for road and bridge improvements.
