Arkansas Highway 113 (AR 113) is a north–south state highway in Central Arkansas. The route runs 29.48miles from Highway 10 south of Wye north to U.S. Route 64 (US 64) east of Blackwell. This also gives access to some rural areas west of Morrilton. It runs through Pulaski, Perry, and Conway counties. It contains no spur of business routes.

Route description

Highway 113 begins at Highway 10 south of Wye.[2] It runs north 5.8miles to Wye where Highway 300 forms a concurrency. The route then continues heading north for 3.2miles to Pleasant Valley where Highway 300 continues west. Highway 113 continues heading north and heads through Bigelow and then joins with Highway 60 west to Houston.[3]

In Houston, Highway 113 departs Highway 60 and heads north again to where it meets Highway 9 south of the Arkansas River. It crosses the Arkansas River into Morrilton. There, it joins US 64 for a short time then departs west to run on its own course parallel to that highway. The route terminates at US 64 east of Blackwell.[4]

History

Arkansas Highway 113 was designated as part of the original 1926 state highways a route from Leola to Poyen. By 1928, a second segment was created from Highway 10 to Bigelow and this segment was labeled 'impassable'.[5] Between 1943 and 1945, the highway was extended to Morrilton.[6] In 1957, the segment from Leola to Poyen was renumbered to Highway 229. The segment along US 64 was added in 1963.[7]
