Location and Transportation
El Dorado’s location in South Central Arkansas puts it right in the middle of America’s sunbelt. Commute time to and from work in El Dorado and Union County is hard to beat. The average travel time of residents is barely 13 minutes. The accessibility of different types of travel and transport are equally impressive.
The South Arkansas Regional Airport is an FAA-approved facility. The airport is a full-service, fix-based operation with charter service and private hangars. The 6,600-foot runway will accommodate corporate and medium-sized jets. The El Dorado Downtown Airport has hangars and accommodations for small, private aircrafts and a 3,000-foot runway in close proximity to the downtown area.
El Dorado is directly connected to all the major cities of the South and West by the Union Pacific Railway main line. Two short line carriers (Ouachita Railroad and El Dorado-Wesson Railway Company) also serve the market.
El Dorado is within a two-hour drive of Little Rock and Shreveport and is only four hours from Memphis or Dallas. Interstate 20, which cuts across the top of Louisiana, is only 36 miles from Union County. Three U.S. highways (82, 63 and 167) intersect at El Dorado. Recently, the Federal Highway Administration designated the I-69 corridor between Memphis, Tennessee and Shreveport. This corridor will touch Union County in the northwest section and will someday insure travel to these two cities as well as Mexico and Canada.
