Forrest City to Tuni
Highway 334 begins at Highway 1B in Forrest City, a city of regional importance in the Arkansas Delta region. The highway winds southeast toward the Lee County line through Crowley's Ridge. The loess hill terrain makes the route wind and curve more than the surrounding highways in St. Francis County covering the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Highway 334 intersects St. Francis County Road 735 at Tuni, with CR 734 and CR 736 continuing west and east, respectively.As of 2016, the route had an annual average daily traffic of 1,500 vehicles per day within Forrest City, but 270 VPD east of the city, earning a classification as a very low volume local road by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, meaning fewer than 400 vehicles per day.
