A northern segment of Script error: No such module "convert". runs from I-57 in Cabot north to the Missouri state line, including a lengthy overlap with Highway 25 between Heber Springs and Wolf Bayou.[3][4][5] A portion of this route is designated as part of the Sylamore Scenic Byway.[6] This segment also contained a former spur route in Mountain Home.

The Main Street Bridge in Little Rock carries a third, unsigned, Highway 5 designation. The bridge is Script error: No such module "convert". in span.[7]

Route description

Hot Springs to Little Rock

Highway 5 begins at an interchange with US 70 and US 70B east of Hot Springs as a two-lane freeway. The route meets Highway 7 in Fountain Lake at a roundabout and continues to northeast as a surface road. In the city of Fountain Lake, Highway 5 has a junction with Highway 128 before entering Saline County and Hot Springs Village.[1] Continuing east, the route serves as the southern terminus for Highway 9 at Crows. Northwest of Benton, Highway 5 has a junction with Highway 298 before entering the city and passing several residential subdivisions. Near Saline Memorial Hospital, the route has a junction with I-30/US 67/US 70 and Highway 35. Highway 5 runs east as a frontage road paralleling I-30 toward Little Rock. Highway 35 runs south toward downtown Benton and eventually Sheridan and Monticello.[8]

The route passes the Hester-Lenz House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), prior to the Bryant city limits.[9] An intersection with Highway 183 (Reynolds Rd) near the historic Andrew Hunter House gives access to downtown Bryant as well as I-30.[9] Continuing east, Highway 5 intersects Highway 835 (Woody Drive) which leads to the Alexander branch of the Arkansas Department of Human Services's Youth Service Center, after which it enters Pulaski County.[10]

The route meets Otter Creek Road and Highway 338 (Baseline Road), both collector roads for I-30/US 67/US 70 in southwest Little Rock. Entering a suburban area, Highway 5 terminates at an interchange with I-430 and US 70.

Main Street Bridge

The Main Street Bridge in Little Rock carries a hidden Highway 5 designation. The route is Script error: No such module "convert". in span and multi-lane divided.[7]

Cabot to Missouri

The route begins just south of I-57/US 67/US 167 at Highway 321 and Highway 367 in Cabot and runs north to cross Highway 89 and Highway 319. Highway 5 continues north to meet US 64 south of El Paso and Highway 310 near Romance. Highway 5 and Highway 310 form a concurrency that runs until Highway 36 in Rose Bud.[11] The route continues north to Heber Springs, where it begins to concur with Highway 16/Highway 25.

Highway 5 leaves Highway 25 near Wolf Bayou, when Highway 5 begins to run with Highway 87, named Mountain View Road. The two routes meet Highway 14 in front of the Stone County Medical Center in south Mountain View.[12] Highway 5/Highway 14/Highway 87 run briefly west to Sylamore Avenue, when they meet Highway 9. Highway 5/Highway 9/Highway 14 run north through town to Allison, when Highway 5 continues northward alone. Passing through the Ozark National Forest, Highway 5 emerges near Calico Rock.[13] The route takes a turn northwest, concurring with Highway 177 near Norfork. Highway 5 crosses US 62 southeast of Mountain Home. The route becomes 9th Street, meeting US 62B and Highway 201 in downtown Mountain Home. Highway 5 continues northwest to Midway, after which it heads north to the Missouri state line, where it continues as Missouri Route 5.

Missouri Route 5 runs entirely across Missouri and eventually becomes Iowa Highway 5.

History

File:Arkansas 5 1926.svg

Highway 5 was created in 1926 as one of the original numbered state highways in Arkansas.[14] At time of creation, Highway 5 did not extend south of Little Rock. The segment between Little Rock and Benton is the former alignment of US 67/US 70 in that area and was re-designated as Highway 5 upon completion of the freeway segment of US 67/US 70 (now I-30) in 1955.[15]

The Arkansas State Highway Commission truncated Highway 5 at I-430 and renumbered the remainder of Stagecoach Road as US 70 on December 9, 2021 in a deal with the cities of Little Rock, North Little Rock, and Pulaski County to cover the relocation costs for Rock Region Metro as part of the "30 Crossing" project on I-30.[16][17]

Connection to Hot Springs Bypass extension

In 2023, a freeway was completed, connecting Highway 5 directly to the Hot Springs Bypass. Highway 5 now begins at an interchange with US 70 and US 70B east of Hot Springs and continues north to where it meets Highway 7 in Fountain Lake. The new section was originally scheduled to open in fall 2022; however, the national supply chain crisis delayed the project. Issues with a retaining wall also contributed to the delay, moving the completion date to September 18, 2023. The roadway is a two-lane freeway.[18]
