Highway 247 (AR 247, Ark. 247, and Hwy. 247) is a designation for four north–south state highways in the Arkansas River Valley. Two are low traffic, two-lane, rural connector highways serving sparsely populated areas of the River Valley. A third segment is a four-lane divided highway bypassing Pottsville. A fourth segment mostly runs as Poor Farm Road in Morrilton among several educational buildings in the city. The first rural segment was created in 1957, with the Morrilton segment created in 1965 and a second rural segment in 1966. The final designation came in 1973. All segments are maintained by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT).
