U.S. Route 169 (US 169) currently runs for 966 miles (1,555 km) from the city of Virginia, Minnesota to Tulsa, Oklahoma at Memorial Drive.

U.S. Highway 169 is a major south–north highway spanning 75.1 miles (120.9 km) in Oklahoma. The southern terminus for US-169 is Memorial Drive. The highway connects Tulsa, Oklahoma to the south with the Kansas state border to the north at South Coffeyville, Oklahoma. US-169 travels through Tulsa, Rogers, and Nowata counties.

US-169 has undergone several widening projects that have brought US-169 to freeway and expressway standards. The highway is two lanes between Talala, Oklahoma and South Coffeyville except for a short four lane portion north of Nowata, Oklahoma and ending at State Highway 28.

An Alternate US-169 passes through Nowata following the original path of US-169. The alternate route begins at the intersection of Choctaw Avenue and reconnects with US-169 south of Nowata at its intersection with Maple Street.

In January 2005, Oklahoma Department of Transportation began a $16.8 million widening project on a mile-long stretch of US-169 (officially named 'Pearl Harbor Memorial Expressway', although this name is rarely used by Tulsans) from Interstate 244 to Interstate 44. The project widened the highway from four to six lanes, adding one lane in each direction. The project was completed in April 2006. This stretch of US-169 is traveled by approximately 106,000 vehicles per day.
