Interstate 540 from Alma to Fayetteville was designated
as an Arkansas Scenic Byway in 1999. This byway begins at the edge of the Arkansas River Valley
and winds 38 miles north to Fayetteville.
Constructed through very rugged terrain in the Ozark Mountains,
this route includes several high-span bridges and the Bobby Hopper
Tunnel. This byway is
known for its spectacular views of the oak-hickory forested mountains
and small farms nestled in picturesque valleys.
