The airport is accessed from
Grider Field Road
which is off of
US Highway
65. The airport property is situated in the southwest corner of the
intersection of
US Highway
65 and
US Highway
425. These two highways are major highway corridors through the
southeastern part of
Arkansas
to
Tennessee
,
Mississippi
, and
Louisiana
.
Gnder Field is located less than one
mile from US Highways 65 and 425. The airport is
approximately four miles from US Highway 79 and two miles from
Interstate 530 via US 65. Funding is available to begin
extension of 1-530 from its current endpoint on to the vicinity of the
Monticello/Warren area to the south. This extension will eventually join
proposed 1-69 connecting north and south portions of the country via
Southeast Arkansas
.
In addition to proximity to major
highways, the airport is within five miles from both the
Port
of
Pine Bluff
and the railroad. This proximity to major highways as well as other modes
of transportation makes the airport area a prime location for future
warehousing and cargo industries.
Patrons can access the terminal area
of the airport from
Grider Field Road
through an airport access roadway. Patrons of the airport, terminal
restaurant, National Guard, and the FBOs use the airport entrance road and
parking is available near the terminal and the National Guard center.
Automobile traffic is separated from aircraft traffic by fencing between
the auto parking areas and the aircraft parking apron. Limited access is
allowed by automobiles onto the aircraft apron near the hangars through
several gates along the fence line.
