The Walnut Ridge Army Airfield Access Road is a historic roadway segment near College City, Arkansas. It consists of about 0.75 miles (1.21 km) of Fulbright Avenue, extending east from its junction with the U.S. Highway 67 (US 67) to Stafford Lane. It has a largely original concrete surface 20 feet (6.1 m), with gravel shoulders. It also passes over two period culverts. The roadway is part of the original main access road to the Walnut Ridge Army Airfield, and was built in 1942–43, when the field was in active use during World War II. It is a well-preserved example of the period road building.[2]

The roadway section was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.[1]
