Highway 336 (AR 336, Ark. 336, and Hwy. 336) is a former east–west state highway in Van Buren County, Arkansas. Between 1965 and 2013, the former county road carried a state highway designation and was maintained by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD).

Route description

The designation followed a former county road, beginning at an intersection with US 65/Highway 9 south of Clinton and running east approximately 5.8 miles (9.3 km) through Green Tree to a cul-de-sac on a bluff above Greers Ferry Lake.[1][3]

History

Highway 336 was created along a county road by the Arkansas State Highway Commission on June 23, 1965.[1] The highway was returned to local maintenance in December 2013. The Highway Commission used a policy that allows returning state highways to local control to offset the costs of non-reimbursable utility relocation where small water utilities do not have necessary funds to relocate their lines along important highway projects.[4] Van Buren County assumed maintenance of Highway 336 (and a segment of Highway 330) following verification that the Bee Branch Water Association and Dennard Water Association would not be able to afford relocation of their water mains along US 65, which was widened under the Connecting Arkansas Program.[2]

Major intersections

The entire route was in Van Buren County.
