Arkansas Highway 151 (AR 151, Hwy. 151) is a designation for two north–south state highways in Mississippi County, Arkansas. An eastern route of 5.75 miles (9.25 km) runs from Highway 148 north to Highway 18. A second route of 6.65 miles (10.70 km) begins at Highway 18 in Blytheville and runs north to Missouri supplemental route TT (SSR-TT) at the Missouri state line. A third route was dedicated in May 2013 and begins at State Line Avenue in Texarkana and continues east to Interstate 49/U.S. Route 71.
The route begins at Highway 148 southeast of Blytheville and runs north near Promised Land to intersect the eastern end of Highway 312 at the Blytheville city limits. Highway 151 continues north into Blytheville over the BNSF railroad tracks to terminate at Highway 18.
Highway 151 begins at Highway 18 (Main Street) in Blytheville and runs north to Gosnell and Arkansas International Airport. The route intersects and forms a concurrency with Highway 181 northwest for 2.04 miles (3.28 km), with Highway 151 splitting north to terminate at Missouri supplemental route TT at the Missouri state line.
The Loop is a beltway around Texarkana, a twin city in the U.S. states of Arkansas and Texas, running about 16 miles (26 km). Consisting a section of Interstate 49 in Arkansas, and Loop 151 and a section of I-369 and U.S. Highway 59 in Texas, it forms a three-quarter loop around the east, south and west sides of the city. (Interstate 30 completes the circle on the north side.) The Loop is built to Interstate Freeway Standards.
The south side is bisected by State Line Avenue, which runs north–south along the state line. The whole half in Arkansas is Highway 151; US 59 intersects the Loop near the southwest corner, and so only the south side in Texas is Loop 151. Old US 59 into Texarkana (Lake Drive) is now State Highway 93.
North of the junction with Highway 549 and U.S. Highway 71, The former Highway 245 is part of the north–south Corridor, a planned extension of Interstate 49 north to Kansas City. (This extension will also include Highway 549.)
The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department submitted this piece, as well as its continuation west to the state line, as Interstate 130 (I-130) in fall 2000. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials denied the part from US 71 west to Texas, as "the state of Texas has not submitted a companion application for a suitable terminus in Texas", but the piece from US 71 north to I-30 was approved on December 8, 2000 as Future I-130. Once it is upgraded to Interstate standards and added to the Interstate Highway System by the Federal Highway Administration, it will be signed as I-130.

OR 240 is known as the Yamhill-Newberg Highway No. 151 (see Oregon highways and routes).
Oregon Route 240 begins at the intersection of Oregon Route 47 and Main Street in Yamhill. Merging with East Main Street, the highway leaves Yamhill, continuing eastward through farmland and arrives in Newberg, merging with North Main Street for just over 6 blocks. It stops there at the intersection with Oregon Route 99W.
Arkansas (i/ˈɑːrkənsɔː/) is a state located in the Southern region of the United States. Its name is of Siouan derivation, denoting the Quapaw Indians. The state's diverse geography ranges from the mountainous regions of the Ozark and the Ouachita Mountains, which make up the U.S. Interior Highlands, to the densely forested land in the south known as the Arkansas Timberlands, to the eastern lowlands along the Mississippi River and the Arkansas Delta. Known as "the Natural State", Arkansas has many diverse regions that offer residents and tourists a variety of opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Arkansas is the 29th largest in square miles and the 33rd most populous of the 50 United States. The capital and most populous city is Little Rock, located in the central portion of the state, a hub for transportation, business, culture, and government. The northwestern corner of the state, including the Fayetteville–Springdale–Rogers Metropolitan Area and Fort Smith metropolitan area, is also an important population, education, and economic center. The largest city in the eastern part of the state is Jonesboro. The largest city in the southeastern part of the state is Pine Bluff.
"Arkansas", written by Eva Ware Barnett in 1916, is one of the official state songs of Arkansas. It was first adopted as the state song in the early 20th century, but was removed in 1949 due to a copyright dispute. After the state settled the dispute by buying all claims to its copyright, it was restored as state song in 1963.
In 1987, the General Assembly elevated the song to "state anthem" in order to designate "Arkansas (You Run Deep In Me)" and "Oh, Arkansas", both written for the state's 150th birthday in 1986, as state songs; it also designated "The Arkansas Traveler", the state song from 1949 to 1963, as "state historical song".
Another 1987 law requires the Secretary of State to respond to all requests for copies of the "state song" with this song. However, this was done only to preserve the historical status of this song; all four songs are either copyrighted by the state itself or in the public domain. Today, the Secretary of State posts the lyrics to all four songs on its website.
