Route description

edit

Highway 113 begins at Highway 10 south of Wye.[2] It runs north 5.8 miles (9.3 km) to Wye where Highway 300 forms a concurrency. The route then continues heading north for 3.2 miles (5.1 km) to Pleasant Valley where Highway 300 continues west. Highway 113 continues heading north and heads through Bigelow and then joins with Highway 60 west to Houston.[3]

In Houston, Highway 113 departs Highway 60 and heads north again to where it meets Highway 9 south of the Arkansas River. It crosses the Arkansas River into Morrilton. There, it joins US 64 for a short time then departs west to run on its own course parallel to that highway. The route terminates at US 64 east of Blackwell.[4]

History

edit

Arkansas Highway 113 was designated as part of the original 1926 state highways a route from Leola to Poyen. By 1928, a second segment was created from Highway 10 to Bigelow and this segment was labeled 'impassable'.[5] Between 1943 and 1945, the highway was extended to Morrilton.[6] In 1957, the segment from Leola to Poyen was renumbered to Highway 229. The segment along US 64 was added in 1963.[7]
