Arkansas Highway 226 is a designation for two state highways in northeast Arkansas. The main segment of 25.28 miles (40.68 km) runs east from an intersection of U.S. Route 67/Arkansas Highway 367 to I-555/US 63/AR 18 in Jonesboro. A short route of 2.38 miles (3.83 km) runs in rural Jackson County west of Tuckerman.
AR 226 runs east from Jackson CR 278 to cross AR 17 to AR 37, where it terminates.
The route then runs due east near Swifton through AR 18 in Cash, also meeting AR 349 near Jonesboro. Highway 226 winds into Jonesboro, meeting US 63/AR 18 and terminating. The route is two-lane undivided for most of its length, passing through flat, square farmland.
In 2012, construction was completed that widened four miles of the highway to a four-lane divided facility from the highway's intersection with U.S. 67 to just west of Cash. This was the first section of a larger plan that will ultimately widen Highway 226 to four lanes divided from U.S. 67 to U.S. 49 near Gibson. Once completed, this widening project will give motorists a four-lane, divided route the entire length from Little Rock to Jonesboro.
