Route history

The road existed as a gravel road as early as 1958. By 1964, the gravel road became two disconnected state highway segments, both with the AR 333 designation. By 1983, the two AR 333 segments were connected, and the area east of London was also added. It became a bitumenous surface road. The route was paved by 1992.
