Had some business in Fayetteville today, so took a little time to explore. ARDOT has made several changes since I was last there in July:

Business 71 (aka US 71B) has been decommissioned south of the I-49 flyover.  It's now simply College Ave to downtown, Archibald Yell Blvd and S School Ave
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/36.1168132,-94.1455739/36.0290709,-94.1726838/@36.0739124,-94.2188697,13z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0

It still exists in Springdale, Rogers, and Bentonville (to Rainbow Curve/West 12)

AR 112 has been removed between AR 265 and  North St (Spur 112)
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/36.0375466,-94.1856304/36.0772399,-94.1752522/@36.0569894,-94.2088365,14.25z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0

AR 16 replaces 112 along Razorback Rd between 15th St and US 71/I-49 Then follows unposted along I-49 to 16 West/Spur 112.   (if memory serves correct.  this is the 5th realignment of AR 16 in the last 60-something years.

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/36.0485418,-94.1808777/36.036119,-94.1861992/@36.027165,-94.2147808,14z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0

AR 180 remains unchanged,  AR 45 remains unchanged. The designations now end at a city street instead of a numbered route.

QuoteAR 112 has been removed between AR 265 and  North St (Spur 112)
Per the info in this thread and the minute order it references,
Quoteupon completion of these improvements
and upon official notification by the Deputy Director and Chief Engineer,
...
The portion of Highway 112, Section 1, between
Highway 112 Spur and Interstate 49 is to be removed
from the State Highway System.
Apparently this hasn't happened yet. City and county maps agree.
Is it that the improvements have just not been completed yet? What's the story here?
"Officer, I'm always careful to drive the speed limit no matter where I am and that's what I was doin'." Said "No, you weren't," she said, "Yes, I was." He said, "Madam, I just clocked you at 22 MPH," and she said "That's the speed limit," he said "No ma'am, that's the route numbah!"  - Gary Crocker
