Route description

Lockesburg to Arkadelphia

Highway 26 begins in rural Howard County, about 7 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 Highway 27 southwest of Murfreesboro. Both Highway 26 and Highway 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 Highway 53 in the town of Hollywood, before eventually ending at Highway 51 about five miles (8.0 km) southwest of Arkadelphia.^[4]

Gum Springs

The route begins at I-30 west of Gum Springs, and 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 ending at the entrance to the Alcoa plant east of Gum Springs.^[5]
