For the majority of its route through Arkansas, US 65 is largely a four-lane divided highway, except for its overlaps with Interstates and a two-lane section between Mississippi and Lake Village. While the majority of the route travels through rural portions of Arkansas far from any Interstate Highways, the route does have a 79.52-mile (127.98 km) concurrency with Interstate 530 (I-530), I-30, and I-40 between Pine Bluff and Conway through the Little Rock metropolitan area.
