Arkansas Highway 2 (AR 2, Hwy. 2, formerly State Road 2) was an east–west state highway in South Arkansas. The route was approximately 195 miles (314 km) from US Route 67 (US 67) in Texarkana east to cross the Mississippi River near Lake Village, continuing as Mississippi Highway 10.[1] Between 1931 and 1932, the route was entirely replaced by U.S. Route 82. Except near cities, the current US 82 closely follows the original 1926 routing. One section of its original pavement, known as the Old Arkansas 2-Mayton Segment, survives north of Garland.

History

Several bypasses have been built since the original 1926 routing following the growth of the cities it passes through.
