State Route 169 (SR 169) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia. The state highway runs 7.41 miles (11.93 km) from Interstate 64 (I-64) and U.S. Route 60 (US 60) to US 258 within the independent city of Hampton. SR 169 is a C-shaped route that connects the Hampton neighborhoods of Phoebus, Buckroe Beach, and Fox Hill.
SR 169 begins at the highway's partial cloverleaf interchange with I-64 and US 60 (Hampton Roads Beltway) just north of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. The road continues west onto the campus of the Hampton VA Hospital. SR 169 heads east as two-lane Mallory Street into the Phoebus neighborhood of Hampton, where the highway intersects SR 143 (Mellen Street) and US 258 (Mercury Boulevard). Both highways provide access to Fort Monroe. From US 258, SR 169 heads northeast as a four-lane divided highway to the Buckroe Beach neighborhood. Next to Buckroe Park, the state highway intersects SR 351 (Pembroke Avenue). SR 169 turns west and runs concurrently with SR 351 on two-lane Pembroke Avenue before turning northeast onto Old Buckroe Road. The state highway follows the two-lane road to the southern edge of the Fox Hill neighborhood, where the highway turns west onto Fox Hill Road. SR 169 follows the four-lane undivided highway west and then southwest through several neighborhoods to its northern terminus at US 258 (Mercury Boulevard).
