Route description
Highway 113 begins at Highway 10 south of Wye.[2] It runs north 5.8 miles (9.3 km) to Wye where Highway 300 forms a concurrency. The route then continues heading north for 3.2 miles (5.1 km) to Pleasant Valley where Highway 300 continues west.

History
Arkansas Highway 113 was designated as part of the original 1926 state highways a route from Leola to Poyen. By 1928, a second segment was created from Highway 10 to Bigelow and this segment was labeled 'impassable'.[5] Between 1943 and 1945, the highway was extended to Morrilton.[6] In 1957, the segment from Leola to Poyen was renumbered to Highway 229. The segment along US 64 was added in 1963.[7]
