Route description edit
The southern terminus of AR 153 is at AR 17 just north of Ethel, or about three miles (4.8 km) south of St. Charles. The route heads west, towards the unincorporated community of Van, before intersecting AR 1 about four miles (6.4 km) northeast of DeWitt. The route runs concurrently with AR 1 for about four miles (6.4 km) before heading splitting apart and heading towards the town of Crocketts Bluff. The route eventually intersects AR 33 at LaGrue, which also shares a short concurrency before continuing to head west. AR 153 ends shortly after, at the intersection of AR 130 about seven miles (11 km) east of Stuttgart at the University of Arkansas Rice Research and Extension Center (unsigned AR 815). The route is about 29.8 miles (48.0 km) long and is entirely located in Arkansas County.[1][2]
