U.S. Route 169 (also known as Mingo Valley Expressway and Pearl Harbor Memorial Expressway in the Tulsa Area) is a U.S. highway that begins in Tulsa southeast of Downtown. The highway runs north into Kansas.
U.S. 169 begins at an interchange with U.S. 64 in Tulsa. This interchange also marks the beginning of a free segment of the Creek Turnpike; continuing west beyond the terminus of US-169 without exiting onto US-64 will incur a toll. US-64 westbound joins US-169 northbound in a concurrency as the two highways head east. US-64/US-169 then bear to the north as the Creek Turnpike splits away to the east and resumes tolling. The two routes pass through southeast Tulsa on a due north course, following the Mingo Valley Expressway, a freeway. Upon reaching the Broken Arrow Expressway (State Highway 51), US-64 splits off toward downtown Tulsa, while US-169 continues north through east Tulsa. The next interchange US-169 has with another freeway is with I-44; 1.8 miles (2.9 km) to the north of this, it interchanges with I-244. As it continues north, US-169 serves as the western terminus of SH-266. The freeway crosses Bird Creek on a pair of 1960-vintage through truss bridges seven miles (11 km) north of I-44.
US-169 then enters the north Tulsa suburb of Owasso. Here, the freeway's interchange with 2nd Avenue also forms the eastern terminus of SH-135, an unsigned highway. The freeway continues on towards Collinsville, where it has a concurrency with 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.
