It runs northeast through the southern part of Cotter paralleling the White River before zig-zaging its way north when it enters Gassville and terminates at US 62/US 412.

History
The short section in Gassville was created to serve an industrial area on May 28, 1969, initially only running due north as Lakeview Drive. The route was extended east from the Mar-Bax shirt factory along Vine Street to Highway 126 on July 28, 1977. The second segment was created on May 23, 1973 pursuant to Act 9 of 1973 by the Arkansas General Assembly. The act directed county judges and legislators to designate up to 12 miles (19 km) of county roads as state highways in each county.
