Highway 132 (AR 132 and University Blvd) is a former east–west state highway in Morrilton, Conway County, Arkansas. The highway designation ran for 27 years from Highway 95 east to Highway 9 Business (Hwy. 9B). The route served as a main arterial street in Morrilton, connecting two major north–south streets to the University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton (UACCM).

Route description

AR 132 in Morrilton, Arkansas, at its western terminus.

AR 132 began at Highway 95 in western Morrilton, near Interstate 40 (I-40). The route ran east to an intersection with AR 247, known as Poor Farm Rd within Morrilton. After this intersection, AR 132 passed along the southern edge of the University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton (UACCM) campus before intersecting AR 9B, where it terminated.[4]

History

AR 132 in Morrilton was added to the state highway system at the request of the city's mayor in 1997. The segment was added as part of an exchange that transferred a former portion of AR 9B from US Highway 64 (US 64) to Highway 9 to city maintenance.[1] The road was returned to city maintenance on August 7, 2024 as part of a swap with ArDOT widening part of AR 113 near Oppelo in exchange for transferring several highways to local maintenance to offset the project's cost.[2]

Major intersections

The entire route was in Morrilton, Conway County.
