Route description
editTuckerman to Swifton
editHighway 224 begins at Highway 367 near Tuckerman and runs east. The route turns north and crosses over Highway 226 and a temporary designation of US 67 until the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) completes a new freeway alignment for US 67.[3] Slightly north of this alignment, the route terminates at the Swifton south city limits. The average daily traffic counts from the AHTD for 2010 show that a maximum of about 610 vehicles per day (VPD) use the portion near Swifton, with the count dropping to 180 VPD for portions further south.[1]
I-57 to Highway 14
editHighway 224 begins at an exit along I-57/US 67 and runs east through Ingleside. The route turns north to run along I-57 until it terminates at Highway 14, directly adjacent to another exit along I-57 south of Newport.[2] Traffic counts from the AHTD in 2010 indicate that the average daily traffic volume on this segment of Highway 101 is at a maximum of 150 VPD near the eastern terminus and decreases as you travel further southwest.[1]
