Highway 296 marker

Highway 296 (AR 296, Ark. 296, and Hwy. 296) is an east–west state highway in Miller County. The route begins at US Highway 59 (US 59) and US 71 in Texarkana (State Line Avenue) and runs east to US 82 in the eastern part of the county. Highway 296 serves as an arterial street in Texarkana west of US 67, but is decidedly rural in its length east of US 67, passing through sparsely populated wooded areas typical of the Arkansas Timberlands. The highway was created on April 24, 1963, but was extended throughout the 1960s and 1970s during a period which Arkansas's state highway system grew greatly. Highway 296 is maintained by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD).

Highway 296 begins at US 59/US 71 in Texarkana (State Line Avenue) just east of the Texas state line. It travels east as Sugar Hill Road through low-density residential area, crossing under Interstate 49 (I-49) and over I-30 without connections to either. Just east of the Texarkana city limits, Highway 296 intersects US 67, beginning a concurrency south.
