Route description

U.S. 169 begins at an interchange with the

through truss bridges) seven miles (11 km) north of I-44.[3][4]

US-169 then enters the north Tulsa suburb of

SH-20. North of Collinsville, the freeway ends, and US-169 continues northeast as an at-grade highway. The highway briefly crosses into Rogers County, then re-enters Tulsa County, before returning to Rogers County once again.[5][6]

In Rogers County, US-169 heads northeast until it reaches the town of

SH-88. South of the town, US-169 crosses Fourmile Creek, a tributary of the Verdigris River; the route will parallel this creek until its source as the road continues north. The highway also runs parallel to a rail line for the remainder of its time in Oklahoma, and several miles to the east, it also parallels the shoreline of Oologah Lake. As the highway passes through northern Rogers County, the highway bisects the town of Talala.[7]

Soon after US-169 crosses from Rogers County to

SH-10, which lasts for 4+1⁄2 miles (7.2 km) before SH-10 splits off to the west. US-169 continues north through unincorporated Elliott, then enters the border town of South Coffeyville. In South Coffeyville, the highway crosses the state line into Montgomery County, Kansas; it continues north towards Coffeyville.[7][8]

History

US-169 was first designated through Oklahoma on June 17, 1935.[9] Prior to the establishment of US-169, the route north of Collinsville was served by State Highway 16;[10] US-169 replaced this route in its entirety.[11]
