Route description
editHighway 335 partially circles El Dorado within the South Arkansas region. It begins at an intersection with Highway 15 at Newell near Little Cornie Bayou. The highway runs north to a junction with US 82. The two routes form a brief concurrency eastward, before Highway 335 turns north on Wyatt Drive. The highway passes through a flat, forested area typical of the Gulf Coastal Plain, sparsely populated with residences, churches, and three cemeteries. Highway 335 intersects the four-lane divided Highway 7 (Smackover Highway / Scenic 7 Byway) north of El Dorado.
After the intersection, Highway 335 turns north toward Norphlet, where it turns east onto Tate Street and passes south of downtown and crossing the Union Pacific Railway line. East of the town, Highway 335 winds through a sparsely populated rural area, crossing Haynes Creek before terminating at US 167.[3]
The ArDOT maintains Highway 355 like all other parts of the state highway system. As a part of these responsibilities, the department tracks the volume of traffic using its roads in surveys using a metric called average annual daily traffic (AADT). ArDOT estimates the traffic level for a segment of roadway for any average day of the year in these surveys. As of 2016, the highest estimated count was between Highway 7 and Norphlet, with 2,000 vehicles per day (VPD). It drops between 1,000 and 2,000 west of the Highway 7 intersection. East of Norphlet, Highway 335 saw 480 VPD.[4]
No segment of Highway 335 has been listed as part of the National Highway System,[2] a network of roads important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[5]
