The interstates that will see the speed limit change will be on nine of the eleven roadways; Interstate 30, 40, 49, 55, 69, 440, 530, and 540.
The higher limits will not be allowed in urban areas, and must only be on controlled access four-lane highways divided by a median.
Commercial vehicles, such as passenger buses and 18-wheelers, will still be restricted to 70 miles an hour.
The Arkansas State House also approved the measure earlier in the session.
