Route description

Sulphur Springs to Crossett

Highway 169 begins at Sulphur Springs in southwestern Ashley County just over 4 miles (6.4 km) from the Louisiana state line. The route runs northeast to Crossett, passing through an industrial section of town. Continuing north, the route intersects and overlaps US&nbsbp;82 at a brief officially designated exception heading west. At Hancock Road, Highway 169 turns north and runs along the west side of a large Georgia-Pacific paper mill. State maintenance ends, with the roadway continuing north at Hancock Road.[2]

McGehee

Highway 169 begins at Highway 4 in the southeastern part of McGehee near the McGehee Cemetery. The route curves northwest to US 65/US 165, where it terminates.[3]

US 165 to Arkansas Post

Highway 169 begins near Arkansas Post

The route begins at US 165 in southern Arkansas County near the Arkansas River. Highway 169 runs east toward Moore Bayou, serving the Moore Bayou Use Area owned by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Continuing east, the route bridges Little Post Bayou and enters Arkansas Post National Memorial.[4] State maintenance terminates near the location of the first established European settlement in Arkansas, settled in 1868 when the area was under French dominion as French Louisiana. Arkansas Post served as the capitol of Arkansas Territory and was an important trading post in early Arkansas history.
