Texarkana is Connected
An Infrastructure Built for Enterprise
Situated at the junction of several major interstates, Texarkana provides convenient access to key markets from the Midwest to the Gulf Coast while offering abundant natural resources and lower costs than can be found in crowded urban markets.
Road
Located roughly halfway between Dallas, Texas and Little Rock, Arkansas, the Texarkana MSA is a major transportation corridor intersected by 106 miles of interstate and four regional highways.
Rail
Texarkana’s rail infrastructure has long been a key driver of economic development in our region. Union Pacific Railroad and Kansas City Southern Railroad have north–south routes through Texarkana, and the Texas Northeastern short line railroad provides service east to west.
Air
Served by American Airlines and equipped with more than 6,600 feet of runway, the Texarkana Regional Airport is located just minutes away from the downtown area, local industries and tourist spots. The airport offers rail service and convenient access to Interstate 30, Loop 245 and four U.S. Highways. Additionally, TAC Air provides fixed-base operation (FBO) services for private aircraft.
Water
Located in Shreveport, Louisiana, the inland Port of Caddo-Bossier lies less than 90 miles from the Texarkana MSA. This 2,300-acre distribution center links customers to domestic and international markets via the Mississippi River and the U.S. Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and offers ready access to barge, rail, motor freight and air transportation services.
