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:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
