Arkansas Highway 3

Highway 3 was a state highway in southern Arkansas. Running predominantly southwest to northeast, its southern terminus was at the Louisiana state line approximately south of Magnolia, Arkansas. Its northern terminus was at U.S. [Route 64|U.S. Highway 64] approximately north of Lehi. It was maintained by the Arkansas Highway Department (AHD), now known as the Arkansas Department of Transportation.
Between Magnolia and Lehi, Highway 3 was replaced in 1935 by US 79, splitting Highway 3 into 2 sections; one segment south of Lehi later became Highway 147 and Highway 50. In late 1936, Highway 3 had a third segment added between McNeil and Waldo. In 1939, the segment between Magnolia and the Louisiana state line was transferred to Highway 19. In mid-1940, the segment north of Lehi was replaced by Highway 147, and the segment from McNeil to Waldo was renumbered Highway 98.
