U.S. Route 412 is an east–west

Oklahoma Panhandle and traverses the Missouri Bootheel
.

As of 2020[update], the highway's eastern terminus is in

State Route 99. Its western terminus is in Springer, New Mexico at an intersection with Interstate 25.[1]

Even though the number “412” would indicate that U.S. 412 is a spur route of U.S. 12, the two highways never connect because U.S. 12 runs far more north than U.S. 412. Even though U.S. 412 is a three-digit highway, it is still considered part of the double-digit U.S. Highway System.

The highway begins at mile marker 412 of Interstate 25 in Springer. It is concurrent with U.S. Route 56 throughout its entire route in the state at just under 100 miles (160 km). Besides Springer, the only other town Route 412 passes through is Clayton, where it merges with U.S. Route 64. Just before entering Oklahoma, the highway touches the northwestern corner of Texas at a small road junction.

Oklahoma

Highway 412 runs across the

Panhandle and northern part of the state passing through cities such as Boise City, Woodward, Enid, and Tulsa. Some major highway junctions include Interstate 35 in Noble County and several others in Tulsa such as I-44, 244, 444, and U.S. Routes 75 and 169. Two sections of this highway are tolled: the Cimarron Turnpike (from I-35 to the western outskirts of Tulsa), and the Cherokee Turnpike (from near Chouteau
to about 10 miles (16 km) west of the Arkansas border).

Arkansas

The

Ozark Mountains in the northern part of Arkansas, and leaves the state at the Missouri Bootheel. Cities along the route include Siloam Springs, Springdale, Alpena, Harrison, Cotter, Mountain Home, Salem, Walnut Ridge, and Paragould. In Harrison, U.S. Route 412 is concurrent with both US 62 and US 65
.

Northwest Arkansas

In the state's northwest corner, the route enters Arkansas. In Benton County, the route serves Siloam Springs as a major route through the southern part of the city. US 412 has a concurrency with Highway 59 that ends in east Siloam Springs. US 412 becomes four-lane and runs east to enter Washington County.[3] The route enters Tontitown, passes the historic Tontitown School Building, and intersects Highway 112 before entering Springdale.[4]

US 412 crosses

US 71B. The concurrency ends and US 412 heads east past the Springdale Municipal Airport and Highway 265 out of town. Again becoming four-lane divided, the route winds east to Hindsville.[6]

The route nears Hindsville, including an intersection with a former alignment now designated

another business route and Highway 23 before entering Carroll County
.

Concurrencies with US 62 and US 63

The highway has a brief overlap with Highway 21 in the southwest corner of the county, and has junctions with many rural routes in Carroll County.[7] The highway passes the James C. Chaney House and Stamps Store in Osage, the Dog Branch School, and the Yell Masonic Lodge Hall in Carrollton. In Alpena, US 412 begins a concurrency with US 62.[8] This overlap is approximately 150 miles (240 km) through many north central Arkansas communities, including Harrison, Cotter, Mountain Home, Ash Flat, and Hardy.[8][9][10][11][12] In Imboden, US 412 breaks from US 62 north, now concurrent with US 63 until 2 miles east of Portia.[13]

This 1934 Parker pony truss bridge formerly carried US 412 over the Cache River, but was rated structurally deficient in 1991 and was bypassed in 1995. The main span remains intact.[14]

Northeast Arkansas

After the concurrency ends, US 412 runs due east to through downtown

US 49B, Highway 69, and Highway 135 in the city limits. The route continues east across the St. Francis River, entering Missouri
.

overlapped with unsigned State Route 99
. East of I-65 at the eastern terminus of US 412, the route remains SR 99.

History

Arkansas Highway 68

Arkansas Highway 68 is the former designation of U.S. Highway 412 from the Arkansas-Oklahoma State Line to

Highway 21
, but was extended in the 1940s to Alpena.

An old alignment of Highway 68 can be found 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Huntsville. This section includes an open-spandrel arch bridge over War Eagle Creek.

Just east of Mountain Home, in Henderson, the highway crosses

Lake Norfork
, which at one time had to be crossed by ferry. Coinciding with the final trip of a Norfork Lake ferry at 8 a.m. Friday, October 14, 1983, the U.S. Highway 62 bridge across Lake Norfork was opened. Charles Gibson piloted the ferry on that trip, carrying three cars across the lake within the shadow of the bridge, which brought a 40-year era to an end.

Future

On May 20, 2021,

mayor of Tulsa, G. T. Bynum, and the heads of both the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT).[16] In October 2023, officials from both states requested public feedback on the US 412 study area, which is approximately 190 mi (310 km) long.[17]
