The route of 16.57 miles (26.67 km) runs from Highway 23 to US Highway 62.[2] The highway passes over the Beaver Bridge, a 1943 suspension bridge, and Beaver Dam, constructed in the 1960s to provide water and electricity for the Northwest Arkansas region.

Route description

Beaver Bridge near Beaver is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The bridge is restricted to one–lane traffic with a 20,000 pounds (9,100 kg) weight limit and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] After Beaver, Highway 187 curves east to meet US 62.
