Arkansas Highway 8 (AR 8) is a designation for four state highways in lower Arkansas. One segment runs from the Oklahoma state line east to US 59/US 71 in Mena. A second segment runs from US 59/US 71 in Mena east to US 63 in Warren. A third segment runs from US 63 at Carmel east to US 65 in Eudora. A fourth segment runs from US 65 south of Eudora to US 65 at Arkla.[1] [2]
Highway 8 begins at the Oklahoma state line as a continuation of OK-63 and runs east through the Ouachita National Forest towards US 59/US 71 west of downtown Mena, where it terminates.
The route begins at US 59/US 71 east of downtown Mena as Morrow Avenue. Highway 8 runs east with minor junctions at Highway 375, Highway 980, and Highway 370 before again entering the Ouachita National Forest near the Montgomery County line. Shortly after entering Mongtomery County, Highway 8 passes the Cogburn Dipping Vat, listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), before entering Black Springs and Norman. A concurrency forms with Highway 27 in Norman, and the two routes continue south past the historic Caddo Valley Academy Complex and the Norman Town Square to exit the Ouachita National Forest and enter Pike County.[3]
Highway 8 enters Glenwood, including junctions with Highway 8S, US 70B, and a brief concurrency with US 70. After turning south to leave US 70, Highway 27 follows US 70 west, ending the concurrency that began in Norman. The highway continues southeast to form a concurrency with Highway 84 which continues into Clark County.[4] Highway 8/Highway 84 continue into Amity until Highway 84 turns north at a traffic circle near the Old Bank of Amity. Highway 8 continues east to Arkadelphia, where it meets Highway 26/Highway 51 just inside the city limits.
After Arkadelphia, the route is concurrent with Highway 7 until Dalark. The route continues southeast to Fordyce and on to Warren, where it terminates at US 63.
The route begins at Carmel and runs south to Johnsville, before continuing east to US 65 in Eudora, where it terminates.
