Route Description
U.S. Route 67 runs parallel to Interstate 30 from Texarkana to Benton, where it then runs concurrent with I-30 to North Little Rock. It then runs east, concurrent with I-40, for about 2 miles (3.2 km) then branches off to the northeast as a freeway to near Swifton. Temporarily, US 67 travels west for about 6 miles (9.7 km) along Highway 226 at the end of the freeway to its old 2-lane alignment, where it continues north toward Hoxie. Just south of Hoxie, US 67 is routed east along the US 63 bypass for a short distance, then north on a short section of freeway bypassing Hoxie and Walnut Ridge. This section of freeway will eventually be connected to the interstate-style freeway that currently ends at Arkansas Highway 226. It is currently under construction and will open in the next two to three years.
Just north of US-412, the freeway ends at a large, partially complete interchange, and US-67 becomes a five-lane undivided highway north to Pocahontas. From Pocahontas, US-67 turns northeasterly as a two-lane highway to Corning with a concurrency with US 62, then turns north again and crosses into Missouri.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
