Arkansas Highway 36

Highway 36 (AR 36, Ark. 36, and Hwy. 36) is a state highway in Central Arkansas. The highway begins at U.S. Highway 64 (US 64) at Hamlet and runs east through several small communities to Searcy, where it serves as the Beebe-Capps Expressway, a major crosstown arterial roadway. Following a discontinuity at US 64/US 67/US 167 (future Interstate 57 [I-57]), the highway continues east to Kensett as Wilbur D. Mills Avenue before state maintenance ends at the small community of Georgetown. This highway is maintained by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT).

One of the original 1926 Arkansas state highways, Highway 36 was established between Hamlet to Searcy largely along its modern alignment. Extensions to Kensett in 1938 and Georgetown in 1945 established the highway's present eastern terminus. The alignment through Searcy has also changed through the years to accompany the growth of the city as a regional hub, and the increased role of US 67 in the region's transportation system.
