Highway 26 (AR 26, Ark. 26 and Hwy. 26) is the designation for a state Highway in the U.S. state of Arkansas. The highway is mainly located in Southwest Arkansas and is split into two different sections. The first and longest section begins at U.S. Route 371 (US 371) about seven miles (11 km) east of Lockesburg and ends at AR 51 about five miles (8.0 km) west of Arkadelphia. The second section of the route starts at Interstate 30 (I-30) just south of Arkadelphia and ends at the ALCOA plant in Gum Springs. AR 26 also has a spur route (designated as Highway 26S or AR 26S), which travels mainly along the corridor of the Clark County Industrial Park in Gum Springs.[1][2][3]
Route description
Lockesburg to Arkadelphia
The western terminus of AR 26 is located in rural Howard County, about seven miles (11 km) east of the city of Lockesburg. The route heads east for just under eight miles (13 km) until it intersects US 278 in the small town of Center Point, which shares a very short concurrency before continuing to head east. For about 12.4 miles (20.0 km), the route continues to head east before intersecting with AR 27 southwest of Murfreesboro. Both AR 26 and AR 27 share a concurrency, including through the city of Murfreesboro before both routes split apart just northeast of the city, about five miles (8.0 km) later. From there, the route continues to head east, traveling through the towns of Delight and Antoine. The entire route through Clark County is very rural, intersecting at AR 53 in the town of Hollywood, before eventually ending at AR 51 about five miles (8.0 km) southwest of Arkadelphia. The entire section is about 58.0 miles (93.3 km) long.[4]
Gum Springs section
The western terminus of AR 26 is at I-30 south of Arkadelphia. The route heads southeast for about 1.8 miles (2.9 km) before intersecting US 67 in Gum Springs. The route continues heading west for about one more mile (1.6 km) before its eastern terminus ends at the entrance to the ALCOA plant in Gum Springs.[5]
