Highway 132 (AR 132, Ark. 132, and Hwy. 132) was a state highway of approximately 25 miles (40 km) in Columbia County. The route began at US 82 and ran south to the Louisiana state line. The route was created in 1928[4] and replaced by the US 371 designation in 1994.[5]
Initially referenced as the Bi-State Corridor, the Arkansas State Highway Commission designated Highway 132 and several other highways as a proposed corridor to seek American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials approval as a US Highway in January 1994.[6] Upon receiving approval, the route was officially decommissioned in favor of US 371 on August 24, 1994.[5]
