Arkansas Highway 39 (AR 39) is a designation for two state highways in southeast Arkansas. One segment of 8.89 miles (14.31 km) runs from Highway 1 west of Turner north to U.S. Route 49 (US 49) west of Hicksville.^[3] A second segment of 9.98 miles (16.06 km) runs from US 49 at Blackton north to US 49 west of Rich.^[4]

Route description

Turner to Hicksville

Highway 39 begins at Highway 1 and Highway 316 west of Turner and runs north to serve as the eastern terminus for Highway 146. The route continues north to Highway 39S, a short spur route to Postelle, before terminating at US 49 west of Hicksville. The AHTD revealed that the northern part of the route averages the highest AADT, registering 420 vehicles per day in 2010.^[2]

Blackton to Rich

The route begins at US 49 at Blackton and runs north to a junction with US 79 in Monroe. Highway 39 turns due west after this intersection until meeting Highway 39S, which connects to US 49.^[4] The route continues north before terminating at US 49 and Highway 241 west of Rich. A 2010 study of annual average daily traffic (AADT) by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) reveals that no more than 380 vehicles use any portion of the route on a daily basis.^[2]

History

Arkansas Highway 39 was one of the original 1926 state highways. The route ran north from State Road 1/State Road 25 in Paragould north across State Road 90 and State Road 34 to St. Francis.^[1]
