The second section begins at US 425, US 82 and AR 8 in Hamburg and ends at AR 133 near the unincorporated community of Milo, or about 6miles southwest of Fountain Hill. The third section begins at US 278 in Warren and ends at US 63 in Warren. The fourth and longest section begins at AR 8 near the unincorporated community of Orlando, or about 5miles northwest of Warren and ends at Pump Station Road in rural Cleveland County.

Section 3

The third section of AR 189 begins at US 278 in Warren. The route heads towards the northwest for about 3.8miles before reaching its northern terminus at US 63 just north of Warren. The route is a bypass around the city of Warren and does not intersect any other highways or communities.[2]

Section 4

The fourth and longest section of AR 189 begins at AR 8 near Orlando. The route travels north for about 18miles before running concurrently with AR 97 for about 0.5miles through the town of Kingsland.
