U.S. Highway 49Y (US 49Y, Hwy. 49Y, and Court Street, formerly AR 1Y and AR 25Y) is a short connector route in Paragould, Arkansas. It is maintained by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT). Highway 49Y begins at US 49 and Highway 1 (Linwood Drive) west of downtown Paragould. The highway runs due west, with the Paragould High School on the north side of the road and an industrial area along the south side. US 49Y terminates at US Highway 412 Business (US 412B) and the Crowley's Ridge Parkway (Kingshighway) just south of Kirk Field. [10]
The ArDOT maintains US 49Y like all other parts of the state highway system. As a part of these responsibilities, the Department tracks the volume of traffic using its roads in surveys using a metric called average annual daily traffic (AADT). ArDOT estimates the traffic level for a segment of roadway for any average day of the year in these surveys. As of 2020, AADT was estimated to be 8,900 vehicles per day (VPD). [11]
In a May 1963 Arkansas Highway Department report, an unsigned section of state highway along Court Street in Paragould between 15th Street and Second Street was identified for deletion from the state highway system. In May 1968, the City of Paragould requested exchanging this roadway for a new state highway designation along Court Street between Highway 25 and a newly constructed Highway 1 (15th Street). The Highway Commission agreed to the request on June 26, 1968, designating it as Highway 1Y and declaring it would "provide a desirable connection between the two State Highways and would eliminate indirection of travel to motorists". [12] The designation was renumbered to Highway 25Y in 1979 when Highway 1B became US 49B. [6]
After US 412 supplanted Highway 25 between Walnut Ridge and Missouri in 1980, the highway was renumbered US 49Y. [13]
