A total of eight '''[[special routes]] of [[U.S. Route 65]]''' exist, divided between the [[U.S. state]]s of [[Arkansas]] and [[Missouri]]. Currently, they are all business loops, although a spur route in [[Pine Bluff, Arkansas]] and bypass routes in [[Baton Rouge, Louisiana]] and [[Springfield, Missouri]] both existed in the past.

'''U.S. Highway 65 Business''' ('''US 65B''') is a {{convert|4.22|mi|km|adj=on}} [[business route]] of [[U.S. Route 65]] in [[Faulkner County, Arkansas]].<ref name="fau">{{Cite map |publisher=Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department |title=General Highway Map |url=http://www.arkansashighways.com/maps/Counties/County%20PDFs/FaulknerCounty.pdf |edition=Faulkner County |accessdate=October 6, 2011 |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304025825/http://www.arkansashighways.com/maps/Counties/County%20PDFs/FaulknerCounty.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> The route's northern terminus is at [[Interstate 40 in Arkansas|Interstate 40]]/US 65 in north [[Conway, Arkansas|Conway]]. It runs south through Conway beginning as '''Skyline Drive''' to intersect [[U.S. Route 64 in Arkansas|Old Morrilton Highway (US 64)]]. These two routes overlap and run south as '''Harkrider Street'''. Continuing south US 64/US 65B approach a roundabout entrance to [[Hendrix College]] and continue to pass by [[Galloway Hall]] and several other campus buildings. Exiting the south part of campus at another roundabout intersection with [[Arkansas Highway 266|Siebenmorgan Road (AR 266)]], the two routes continues south for several blocks before US 64 breaks east to end the [[Concurrency (road)|concurrency]].
US 65B continues south near [[Dennis F. Cantrell Field]] and [[Oak Grove Cemetery Historic Section|Oak Grove Cemetery]] before an intersection with [[Arkansas Highway 60]] and [[Arkansas Highway 365]] in south Conway. The route turns east and runs until an intersection with I-40/US 65 and [[Arkansas Highway 286]] continuing east.

U.S. Route 65 Business in the [[Branson, Missouri|Branson]] area southern terminus begins in [[Point Lookout, Missouri|Point Lookout]], Missouri at a [[Single-point urban interchange]], which serves Point Lookout, [[College of the Ozarks]], and [[Hollister, Missouri|Hollister]], Missouri. Business 65 tracks west approximately 1,000 feet to an intersection with County Road 165 (south to the [[Table Rock Lake|Table Rock]] [[Dam]]) and Opportunity Avenue (west to College of the Ozarks). Business 65 then turns right heading north, then on an overpass over US 65, toward Hollister. Next to the overpass lies the original southern terminus; removed when US 65 was upgraded to a 4-lane Expressway south of [[Lake Taneycomo]]. Business 65 then descends into the Turkey Creek Valley through historic downtown Hollister; crossing Turkey Creek north of downtown. Shortly after the Turkey Creek bridge, Business 65 is the western terminus of Missouri BB, which runs east toward the Hollister High School. Business 65 continues North to a [[Roundabout]] in the southeast bank of Lake Taneycomo, where it intersects with Missouri 76 (east to [[Forsyth, Missouri|Forsyth]], Missouri) and Branson Landing Boulevard; continuing with [[Missouri Route 76|Missouri 76]] west over the Lake Taneycomo Bridge, entering historic downtown Branson, Missouri.
Signage in Branson then takes Business 65, concurrent with Missouri 76, through downtown, then heads west by turning left at Main Street. Business 65/Missouri 76 then ascends what is locally known as "Hamburger Hill" (due to all of the Hamburger restaurants on either side of the roadway) to an interchange at US 65. Business 65 eastern terminus, thus, is at US 65, while Missouri 76 turns north, concurrently, with US 65. Continuing straight ahead will take you to 76 Country Boulevard, locally known as "The 76 Strip" or simply "The Strip." Business 65 originally continued straight onto Veterans Boulevard, instead of turning onto Main Street. It then continued until Veterans Boulevard until ending at US 65/Missouri 248/Shepherd of the Hills Expressway interchange. Business 65 was moved to its current alignment with the completion of the Branson Landing development in 2008. Some online maps still sign this alignment as Business 65. Also, a Business 65 bannered shield is attached to the side of the Roark Creek bridge just north of downtown; however, the sign cannot be seen from the roadway itself.
