Arkansas Highway 83 (AR 83, Ark. 83 and Hwy. 83) is the designation for a state highway in the U.S. state of Arkansas. The route is mainly located in Southeast Arkansas, and is split into two sections. The first and longest section begins at the University of Arkansas at Monticello and ends at AR 54 near Tyro, or about 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Star City. The second section of the route begins at AR 54 north of Dumas and ends at AR 114 near Gould. AR 83 also has a spur route (designated as Highway 83SorAR 83S), which serves the University of Arkansas at Monticello's northern entrance, as well as Drew Memorial Hospital.[1][2]
