Old U.S. 64-Van Buren Segment is a stretch of historic roadway in Van Buren, Arkansas. Now designated Oak Lane, this stretch of concrete road was built in 1928 as part of the original alignment of U.S. Route 64 (US 64), whose current alignment (built in 1968) travels to the south. This stretch of road is about 0.65 miles (1.05 km) long and 18 feet (5.5 m) wide, carrying two lanes of traffic with no shoulder. It is made out of a tan-colored aggregate mixed with concrete. This segment was part of the first concrete-paved road in Crawford County.[2]

The road section was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
