The highway begins near Waldron and runs east into the Ouachita National Forest.

It runs east through a sparsely populated rural area before entering the Ouachita National Forest.

The route runs east, paralleling Dutch Creek until an intersection with Highway 80, where it terminates.

As a part of these responsibilities, the Department tracks the volume of traffic using its roads in surveys using a metric called average annual daily traffic (AADT).

ArDOT estimates the traffic level for a segment of roadway for any average day of the year in these surveys.
