Route description

Hartford to Fort Smith

The route begins at AR 96 in Hartford, and runs north through Midland and Hackett. Upon entering Fort Smith, AR 45 meets US 71 before terminating at I-540/US 71.^[2]

Dutch Mills to Clifty

Arkansas Highway 45 begins at AR 59 in Dutch Mills and goes east through Clyde and Canehill to US 62 east of Lincoln. Continuing east, the route enters the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers Metropolitan Area, beginning with Prairie Grove and Prairie Grove Battlefield Park, followed by Farmington.^[3] The route enters Fayetteville where it crosses I-540\US 71\US 62\AR 16. A concurrency begins with AR 16/AR 180 east to AR 112 (Razorback Road). AR 45 also meets AR 180 and later US 71B. After turning east as Lafayette Street, AR 45 meets AR 265 east of town. The route has 42.0 miles (67.6 km) in Washington County.^[3] In Hindsville, AR 45 meets US 412 Business. This is where AR 295 Spur formerly began.^[4] The route continues north and terminates at AR 12 at Clifty.^[4]

History

Arkansas Highway 45 was one of the original 1926 state highways. The route ran north from Oklahoma west of Hartford, Arkansas to Clifty. The middle segment was replaced by Arkansas Highway 59 between Van Buren and Dutch Mills, and the route remains fragmented today.
