History

In 1961, the Arkansas Highway Department collaborated with the city planning division of Arkansas State University, the City of Jonesboro, and Craighead County to develop transportation plans for the area. The top priority in the plan was the "Johnson Street Connection", which connected Main Street (AR 1) and US 63 along Johnson Avenue, Floyd Street, and Dan Avenue. On November 8, 1961, the Arkansas State Highway Commission designated the Johnson Avenue Extension as U.S. 63 City Route (US 63C).[49] Following construction of a bypass around downtown Jonesboro; US 63 was rerouted onto the new bypass; with US 63C and former alignments of US 63 becoming part of a newly designated US 63B, including concurrencies with AR 1 (Main Street) and AR 18 (Highland Avenue). The changes were made by the Arkansas State Highway Commission on May 27, 1970[51] and were officially confirmed by the United States Route Number Committee of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) later in the year.[52]
