History

Highway 86 was created between Holly Grove and the current eastern terminus at Highway 20[lower-alpha 3] on April 12, 1940.[1] A second segment was created in 1953 between Slovak and Highway 11[lower-alpha 4] in Prairie County. The route was extended over Highway 11 through Tollville on July 10, 1957[6] and east to Highway 33 on June 29, 1960.[7] On April 24, 1963, both segments were extended westward, with the Prairie County section adding 7 miles (11 km) west of Slovak, and the Monroe County section extended northwest from Holly Grove to Highway 241[lower-alpha 5] north of Clarendon.[9] On June 23, 1965, the Prairie County section was extended north to the current western terminus at Screeton,[10] and the third section of Highway 86 was designated between Hayley and a county road near Wattensaw Bayou.[11]

The northern 0.7 miles (1.1 km) of the Monroe County route was deleted in a swap to add length to Highway 146 on April 27, 1971, leaving the route to terminate at the current county road intersection.[12]

When the Arkansas General Assembly passed Act 9 of 1973, county judges and legislators were directed to designate up to 12 miles (19 km) of county roads as state highways in each county.[13] In accordance with the Act, Highway 86 was extended southerly on April 5, 1973.[14]

An earlier Highway 86 was created in the 1926 renumbering from US 71 just south of Gillham southwest to the Oklahoma state line.[15] This route was removed in 1929, and is now known as Bellah Mine Road.[16]
