From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway 47 is the former designation for U.S. Highway 62 between Rogers and Gateway and Highway 37 between Gateway and the Missouri State Line. Running a distance of approximately 18 miles, its southern terminus was at the intersection of U.S. Route 71 (aka 8th & Walnut Streets) in Rogers, Arkansas then passed through the communities of Avoca and Garfield before ending with its northern terminus at the Missouri State Line just north of Gateway. When U.S. 62 was designated in Arkansas in 1930, Highway 47 was truncated to the 1/2 mile segment from Gateway to the Missouri State Line where it continued as Route 37. In the early 1980s, Highway 47 was re-designated as Highway 37 to match the Missouri numbering of the road.
