Route description

Russellville to Rose Bud

The route begins at U.S. Route 64 (US 64) in Russellville and runs north to Interstate 40 (I-40). It continues east to intersect Highway 164 in Moreland and Highway 105 in Caglesville before entering Conway County.^[2] AR 124 winds east and then south in Conway County before forming a concurrency with Highway 95.^[4] The highway runs east to concur with Highway 9 in Center Ridge, becoming Highway 92/Highway 124 until Springfield. Highway 124 briefly enters Faulkner County, where it intersects and concurs with US 65 for 2.2 miles (3.5 km).^[5][6] Highway 124 enters Cleburne County and has many intersections in Quitman, including Highway 25.^[7] The highway continues east into White County to Highway 36 in Rose Bud, where it terminates.^[3] This route is entirely two-lane,^[1] and has an officially designated exception of 0.66 miles (1.06 km) over Highway 25 in Cleburne County.^[8]

Pangburn to Sunnydale

First reassurance marker for Arkansas Highway 124 east of the Highway 110 junction in Pangburn, Arkansas

Highway 124 begins at Highway 110 in Pangburn and runs east. The highway intersects Highway 305, and a short concurrency forms. The highway runs further east to intersect Highway 157 in Sunnydale, where it terminates. It is entirely two-lane and undivided.^[1]

History

The route was added to the state highway system in 1927, a year after Arkansas first numbered its highways.^[9] The route ran from Russellville to Caglesville and was an unimproved road. The following year, Highway 124 was extended to Highway 95 in Conway County.^[10] At this time, Highway 124 from Russellville to Caglesville was graded, but the extension was not. In 1933, the route was shortened, running only from Russellville to Appleton (entirely in Pope County).^[11] By 1926, the unimproved segment from Appleton to AR 95 was again added to AR 124. The routing remained unchanged until 1953, when the route was extended along its modern alignment.^[12]

Formerly, Highway 124 had its western terminus at the intersection of Highway 7 and O Street in Russellville. The highway passed over I-40 without an interchange before meeting its current alignment east of town. When Highway 124 was widened northeast of Russellville, it was realigned onto Weir Road, formerly a stretch of Highway 326.
