Arkansas Highway 130

Highway 130 connects Stuttgart and DeWitt, the two county seats of Arkansas County. Despite estimated travel times similar to US 165 between the cities, US 165 receives three times more vehicular traffic as a mainline route across Southeast Arkansas.{{#tag:ref|Travel times from Stuttgart to DeWitt are based on highway miles from the downtowns of the cities.{{google maps |title= Stuttgart, AR 72042 |url= https://www.google.com/maps/place/Stuttgart,+AR+72042 |access-date= May 19, 2019 }}

|group=lower-alpha}} The route is a rural, two-lane road its entire length, except near the western terminus in Stuttgart. Highway 130 is entirely within the Grand Prairie, a subset of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain ecoregion known for rice cultivation and duck hunting.{{EPA content |article= US Level IV Ecoregions shapefile with state boundaries (SHP file) |url= ftp://newftp.epa.gov/EPADataCommons/ORD/Ecoregions/us/us_eco_l4_state_boundaries.zip |access-date= January 18, 2018 }}

The highway begins as a section line road at US Highway 79 Business (US 79B, 22nd Street) at an intersection with Main Street in southern Stuttgart near Stuttgart High School. Highway 130 continues east through a commercial area as a four lane divided highway with a paved median, crossing a railroad spur before an intersection with US 165 (Park Avenue) near the Riceland Foods headquarters. Continuing east, Highway 130 becomes a two-lane road, passing residential subdivisions and the Stuttgart Country Club before entering an agricultural part of Arkansas County.{{Cite map |author= ((Transportation Planning and Policy Division)) |publisher= Arkansas Department of Transportation |title= Map of Stuttgart, Arkansas County, Arkansas |url= http://www.arkansashighways.com/maps/cities/stuttgart_city.pdf |format= PDF |date=December 2017 |sections= F4–F8 |scale= 1:12,000 |location= Little Rock |access-date= May 25, 2019 }} Near the University of Arkansas System Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station Rice Research Extension Center and United States Department of Agriculture's and Harry K.

Highway 130 runs south along a section line to an intersection with Highway 980, which gives access to the Almyra Municipal Airport. Highway 130 continues south along the city limits of Almyra, with Highway 130 Spur running east into town as Main Street.{{Cite map |author= Planning and Research Division |publisher= Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department |title= Map of Almyra, Arkansas County, Arkansas |url= http://www.arkansashighways.com/maps/cities/almyra_city.pdf |format= PDF |date=January 2011 |section= B2 |scale= 1:12,000 |location= Little Rock |access-date= May 25, 2019 }} South of Almyra, Highway 130 turns east and crosses Little LaGrue Bayou before a junction with Highway 33. The highway turns south at this junction, continuing south as a section line road and again crossing Little LaGrue Bayou before entering DeWitt.

In DeWitt, Highway 130 runs south as Monroe Street, crossing Holt Branch and running through a residential neighborhood before an intersection with Highway 152 (2nd Street).

Present-day Highway 130 was created on April 1, 1926, as State Road 30, one of the original Arkansas state highways. It ran from US 70 at Rose City to downtown DeWitt. On November 25, 1958, the route was renumbered to Highway 130 after the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHTO) designated Interstate 30 in Arkansas. An existing Highway 130 in Van Buren County was renumbered to Highway 330.{{harvp|"Minutes"|1953–1969|p= 1701}}

In 1963, Highway 1 was rerouted around DeWitt onto a new terrain route. Highway 130 was extended south along Cross Street and Jefferson Street (including part of former Highway 1) south to the new Highway 1.{{harvp|"Minutes"|1953–1969|p= 933 }} The following year, Highway 130 was rerouted onto Monroe Street south to the current southern terminus at 13th Street. The former alignment was redesignated as Highway 1B south of 2nd Street, and the state highway designation along Maxwell, Adams, Cross, and Jefferson streets north of 2nd Street was deleted.{{harvp|"Minutes"|1953–1969|p= 789 }}

Highway 130 was realigned south of Almyra in 1968, with part of the former route within Almyra municipal limits becoming Highway 130 Spur.{{harvp|"Minutes"|1953–1969|p= 235 }}

The route remained unchanged until 1981, when several local officials requested the Arkansas State Highway Commission (ASHC) extend US 165 north to North Little Rock, along several highways, including Highway 130. The ASHC approved the change on March 18, 1981.{{harvp|"Minutes"|1953–1969|p= 137 }} The designation was approved on October 3, 1981, by the United States Route Number Committee of the AASHTO, truncating Highway 130 to the current northern terminus.{{cite web |url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AASHTO_USRN_1981-10-03.pdf |title= Minutes from the Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering |date=October 3, 1981 |publisher=AASHTO |location=Chicago |access-date=June 13, 2019 |page=1 }}
