Route description

All of the route is in Chicot County. [2] In 2016, the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) measured about 410 vehicles travelling near US 82 and US 278 on average each day. [3]

AR 142 starts at Levee Road (CR 73), [4] near the unincorporated area of Lakeport. The route begins travelling westward until it reaches a graded road, where it turns northwest. [2] The road travels through farmland, [4] intersecting Black Water Road (CR 72) which leads to Eminence. [4] [2] The road then crosses over Weaver and Eminence Bayous, and it turns west near the Lakeport Plantation. After travelling westward shortly, AR 142 turns north at Robert Mazzanti Road. [4] The road then crosses over a drainage ditch, [2] and it intersects James Roy Road afterwards. [4] Near Shives, the route turns west past a gravel road. AR 142 ends at its intersection with US 82 and US 278 at the center of Shives. [2] Past the intersection, the road continues to Lakehall Road (CR 71). [4]

History

AR 142 was designated in 1931, along a gravel road starting from US 61 southeast of Lake Village, to a point west of the Mississippi River. [5] [6] The route was realigned onto a new unimproved road near its southern terminus in 1939, [7] [8] which was paved in gravel by 1940. The section near Lake Village became part of US 82 and was paved in asphalt that year. [8] [9] In 1952, AR 142 was connected to a county road that extended to Grand Lake, [10] [11] which was removed eight years later. [12] [13] The route was completely paved in asphalt by 1962, [14] [15] which cost $214,999 (equivalent to $1,861,968in 2020). [16]
