Highway 100 (AR 100, Ark. 100, and Hwy. 100) is a state highway in Central Arkansas.
A route of 8.72 miles (14.03 km) begins at Highway 365 north of Maumelle and runs east to Interstate 40 (I-40) in North Little Rock. This route was designated in 1987 and is maintained by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT).
The Highway 100 designation was created at the request of the mayor of North Little Rock, who planned to construct Riverside Drive between Rose City and Locust Street, and desired inclusion in the state highway system. [3] The Arkansas State Highway Commission agreed to an alignment in 1965, but the road was not completed for over 20 years. The designation was officially assigned on December 1, 1987, following completion of Riverside Drive between Interstate 30 (I-30) and Pike Avenue. [2] The highway was extended east to U.S. Route 70 (US 70) on May 13, 1998. [4]
A second segment was created on May 6, 1987 along Maumelle Boulevard in response to the population growth of Maumelle. [5] The route was extended along Crystal Hill Road to I-40 on August 11, 1993, at the request of concerned citizens, members of the Arkansas General Assembly, and the Pulaski County Judge. The extension was in exchange for removing a segment of Highway 176 near Camp Joseph T. Robinson. [6]
The entire route is in Pulaski County.

Interstate 540 (I-540) is a freeway spur route of I-40 in the US state of Arkansas in Fort Smith. The total length is 14.7 miles (23.7 km). At first, I-540 was a short spur connecting Fort Smith and Van Buren to I-40 as one of the original five Arkansas Interstates. The route ran 14.7 miles (23.7 km) to U.S. Highway 271 (US 271) near the Oklahoma state line. The growing Northwest Arkansas area and the University of Arkansas needed an Interstate connection to Little Rock, and through traffic north to Kansas City had also outgrown the winding US 71 north from I-40. The route was extended north to Mountainburg in the late 1990s on an all-new alignment with the route being completed to Bella Vista in January 1999. However, the segment north of I-40 became a part of I-49 in 2014.
