The longest and most well-known segment of 54.19miles runs from Highway 28 in Plainview east to U.S. Route 65B (US 65B) in Conway.[1] A segment in western Logan County of 2.64miles begins at the Old Highway 10 at the Sebastian County line and runs east to Highway 10.[2] A third segment of 10.8miles begins at Highway 252 near Lavaca and runs east to Highway 41 at Peter Pender.[3] [4] A fourth segment runs 1.34miles from US 64 and runs across Interstate 40/Interstate 540 (I-40/I-540) to Highway 282.[5] A fifth route of 2.34miles begins at Highway 282 near Rudy and runs north to County Road 23 (CR 23).[5]
The longer section of Highway 60 in Crawford County is 2.34miles long.[5] The route runs north from Highway 282 at Rudy to terminate at Crawford County Road 23.
The shorter section of Highway 60 in Crawford County is 1.9miles long.[5] The route runs north from US 64 over Interstate 40 to terminate at Highway 282.
This segment is the only section of Highway 60 that is signed north-south, as opposed to the rest of the highway, which is signed east-west.
The section of Highway 60 in Franklin and Sebastian counties is 8.5miles long. The westernmost 1.1miles is located in Sebastian County,[3] with the remaining 7.4miles in Franklin County.[4] The route runs east from Highway 217 to terminate at Highway 41 at Peter Pender.
The section of Highway 60 in Logan County runs for 2.64miles.[2] The route runs east from the Sebastian County line to Highway 10 west of Booneville
AR 60 begins at an intersection with AR 28 in Plainview. It runs east to the county line for 7miles, passing by Nimrod Lake before reaching the county line. [6]
The route then intersects AR 7 and runs parallel with the Fourche La Fave River and passes through Nimrod. It runs east for another 10.1miles until it intersects the northern terminus of AR 155. It then reaches the town of Perryville and runs concurrent with AR 10 for 0.3miles. Then AR 60 continues east towards Houston. About 0.1miles west of AR 216, AR 113 becomes concurrent with AR 60.[7]
AR 60 then runs concurrent with AR 113 for about 7.7miles. The highway then proceeds northeast after splitting from AR 113 and crosses over the Arkansas River before entering Conway. It runs east for about 1.5miles before reaching its eastern terminus at US Route 65 Business.[8]
