Arkansas Highway 99

Highway 99 (originally State Road 99, abbreviated AR 99 and Hwy. 99) is a former northsouth state highway in Arkansas. Created in 1926, the route connected several small communities in the northwest corner of the state near the Oklahoma border. The highway briefly overlapped with Oklahoma State Highway 20 (SH-20) along the state line, and the two routes briefly enter Oklahoma together. It was significantly shortened in the 1930s, and fully replaced by the Highway 43 designation in 1971. The route was maintained by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD), except where the designation entered Oklahoma, where it was maintained by the Oklahoma Department of Highways.
