History
Until the 2010s, this stretch of highway was originally designated as the final 2.21 miles (3.56 km) of US 79. US 79's northern terminus was relocated at an intersection with the re-routed US 431 on the southwest side of Russellville. US 431 was re-routed onto the original US 79 (Clarksville Road) and the first half of the Russellville Bypass from the current US 79 intersection to the north side of the city.[3] U.S. 79 now follows the southern section of the Russellville Bypass when it was completed.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Russellville, Logan County.
