The route was approximately from US Route 67 (US 67) in Texarkana east to cross the Mississippi River near Lake Village, continuing as Mississippi Highway 10.〔 Between 1931 and 1932, the route was entirely replaced by U.S. Route 82. Except near cities, the current US 82 closely follows the original 1926 routing. One section of its original pavement, known as the Old Arkansas 2-Mayton Segment, survives north of Garland. ==History== Several bypasses have been built since the original 1926 routing following the growth of the cities it passes through. * Garland was bypassed in the 1980s by a new bridge over the Red River; the western part of old Highway 2 (from modern U.S. 82 into Garland) is now Highway 134. * North of Garland, an S-shaped section of the highway was replaced with a new alignment in 1948, smoothing out the sharp curves. The old alignment, now part of County Roads 122 and 123, and one of the drivable sections of AR 2's original pavement, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as "Old Arkansas 2-Mayton Segment" in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Old Arkansas 2-Mayton Segment )〕 * Waldo and most of Magnolia were bypassed in the 1970s. The Waldo segment is now Highway 98 and Highway 19; the Magnolia segment is now a business route. * El Dorado was bypassed in the 1980s; Highway 2 is now a business route. * The segment between Crossett and Hamburg has been rerouted several times, most recently in the 1970s. Highway 2 is now parts of Highway 133 and Highway 52 north of Crossett, a short spur of Highway 189 in Hamburg, and a county road from the end of Highway 189 south to Highway 52. * Montrose was bypassed in the 1940s by a railroad overpass; Highway 2 is now a minor business route. * East of Lake Village, U.S. 82 (Highway 2) turned northeast along Lake Chicot to the old ferry crossing near Greenville, Mississippi; that alignment is now Highway 144 from Lake Village past Lake Chicot State Park to its end at the Mississippi River levee. U.S. 82 was rerouted south of Lake Chicot when the Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge opened in 1940, and retained most of that alignment for the current Greenville Bridge. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arkansas Highway 2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
