Highway 130 is an east–west state highway in Arkansas County, Arkansas. Mostly a low-volume, two-lane road, Highway 130 connects the two county seats of Arkansas County, Stuttgart and DeWitt. The highway began as State Road 30, one of the original state highways in 1926 between North Little Rock and DeWitt. It was renumbered to 130 to prevent confusion with Interstate 30 in 1958, and the segment between North Little Rock and Stuttgart was replaced by an extension of US 165 in 1981, producing the current alignment. Highway 130 has one spur route in Almyra, and a former alternate route in DeWitt that was designated but never built. The routes are maintained by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT).
