Highway 339 (AR 339 and Hwy. 339) is a short state highway in Woodruff County, Arkansas. The highway is maintained by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT).

Route description

AR 339 begins in Augusta, the small-town county seat of Woodruff County in the Arkansas Delta. The highway begins at a junction with AR 33 City (AR 33C, 6th Street / Gregory Street) in the south part of the city and runs due south to the Carl E. Bailey Generating Station near the White River, owned by the Woodruff Electric Cooperative.[3] State maintenance ends just south of the driveway to the facility; the roadway continues south as County Road 618 (CR 618), a gravel road.[4]

ArDOT maintains AR 339 like all other parts of the state highway system, including tracking the volume of traffic using its roads in surveys. As of 2020, traffic was estimated at 310 vehicles per day (VPD) on average.[5] For reference, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), classifies roads with fewer than 400 VPD as a very low volume local road.[6] No segment of AR 369 has been listed as part of the National Highway System,[7] a network of roads important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[8]

History

The Arkansas State Highway Commission created AR 369 on June 23, 1965, during a period of state highway system expansion; the alignment has not changed since creation.
