Route description
editHighway 299 begins at Interstate 30 in Hemsptead County.[3] The route runs south to intersect Highway 174 before turning east toward Emmet. In Emmet the route has a 0.1 miles (0.16 km) overlap with US 67 before continuing east into Nevada County. The route has a short concurrency with Highway 53 and then US 371 near Laneburg. East of this overlap the route serves as a terminus for Highway 372 and later Highway 200 before entering White Oak Lake State Park. After an intersection with Highway 387 the route terminates at Highway 24.[2] The route was most recently paved when a segment in Nevada County was resurfaced 1975, with all portions last receiving paving prior to that project.[1]
History
editThe portions from Emmet-Highway 53 and from Highway 24-White Oak Lake State Park (at the time the Arkansas State Nursery) were added to the state highway system on April 24, 1963.[4] The discontinuous segments were connected on June 23, 1965.[5]
