Route description

AR 158 begins at AR 1 in Greenfield.[2] The route runs east and begins to concur with AR 163 north. AR 158 then heads east, crossing US 63 and AR 463 near Bay. The route continues east then north to meet AR 18 in Bowman. AR 18/AR 135/AR 158 run together until Black Oak, with AR 135/AR 158 continuing together until Caraway.[3]

The route continues east to meet AR 77 in Lennie.[4] AR 158 runs east to cross Interstate 55 and US 61 before Luxora. The route terminates at US 61 in north Luxora.

History

The route was first designated AR 158 in 1936. The highways was a gravel/stone road from AR 77 east to Luxora.[5] The route was extended west to the Caraway area in 1952, but remained entirely gravel.[6] A segment of AR 158 was added from Bay to Lunsford around 1960. The short route was added to the state highway system in 1979.[1]
