Route description
editDewey to Monticello
editHighway 35 begins at Macon Lake Road at Dewey near the Mississippi River. The route runs through bayous and fields in Chicot County, briefly entering Desha County for a junction with Highway 159/Highway 208 in Halley.[2][4]
Returning to Chicot County, Highway 35 intersects the four-lane divided US 65/US 278 and US 165 east of Dermott, before entering the city.[2] Highway 35 serves Dermott as Speedway Street before entering Drew County. The highway runs south of the Seven Devils Swamp WMA along the Arkansas Midland Railroad tracks until Monticello, where it terminates at US 278.[5]
Monticello to Cross Roads
editThe route begins at US 425 north of Monticello and runs northwest, intersecting Highway 530. Highway 35 continues northwest to enter Cleveland County, where it forms a concurrency with US 63 from Rye to Pansy.[6] After Pansy, the route runs northwest through Toledo to Rison, where it passes the American Legion Hut, Texaco Service Station, and Cities Service Station, each on the National Register of Historic Places. East of downtown, Highway 35 has a junction with US 79, after which the route serves the rural northwest corner of the county.[6]
The route next enters Grant County, passing through forest/clear cut land to a rural junction with Highway 190. Highway 35 then runs west for about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) before intersecting US 167 at Cross Roads, where it terminates.[7]
Sheridan to Benton
editThe route begins at US 167B in Sheridan and runs northwest, intersecting US 167 just outside the Sheridan city limits. Continuing northwest through rural country, Highway 35 enters Saline. Running past the brine springs for which the county is named, the route enters the city of Benton. In the city, Highway 35 passes near the Gann Row Historic District, the Saline County Courthouse, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Building, all NRHP properties.[3] After an interchange with I-30/US 67/US 70, the route continues north to terminate at Highway 5 in north Benton.
