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)
“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
