State Road 115 (AR 115, Ark. 115, and Hwy. 115) is a former
state highway in
South Arkansas. The route began at
US Highway 167 (US 167) in
El Dorado and ran north to
US 79 in
Thornton near
Fordyce. The entire highway was supplanted by US 167 in 1935 following creation of US 79. State Road 115 was maintained by the
Arkansas Highway Department (AHD), now known as the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT).
History
The route was created during the
1926 Arkansas state highway numbering as an original state highway.[1] When US 79 was created in 1935, it was designated along the former US 167. US 167 was shifted to State Road 115, replacing the entire route. The 115 designation was given to the former
Arkansas Highway 79 in
Northeast Arkansas, which was renumbered to 115 to avoid duplication with the newly-created US 79.
