Arkansas Highway 39

Highway 39 (AR 39, Ark. 39, or Hwy. 39) is a designation for two state highways in southeast Arkansas. The western segment of 9.98 mi runs from US Route 49 (US 49) at Blackton to US 49/Highway 241. Another segment of 8.89 mi runs north from Highway 1 and Highway 316 near Turner to US 49 in rural Phillips County.

Blackton to US 49
The route begins at US 49 at Blackton and runs north to a junction with US 79 in Monroe. The highway turns due west after this intersection until meeting Highway 39 Spur (AR 39S), which connects to US 49. Highway 39 continues to Rich before terminating at a junction of US 49 and Highway 241. A 2010 study of annual average daily traffic (AADT) by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) reveals that no more than 380 vehicles use any portion of the route on a daily basis.

The route continues north to Highway 39 Spur, a short spur route to Postelle, before terminating at US 49. The AHTD revealed that the northern part of the route averages the highest AADT, registering 420 vehicles per day in 2010.
