State Route 69 (SR 69) is a divided four-lane highway that serves as the main road to Prescott, Arizona from Interstate 17. It begins at Exit 262 of I-17, traveling northwest for a total length of 34 miles. It has one interchange in Prescott at the junction with State Route 89, it is due to be replaced and upgraded in 2008.

Prior to the construction of Interstate 17, Arizona 69 continued south to Phoenix, Arizona as the Prescott-Phoenix Hwy or Black Canyon Highway on a different alignment, through the ghost towns of Bumble Bee and Cordes.

Former routes

  • 1) Between 1934-1938, after the completion of Hoover/Boulder Dam, the road from Kingman to the site of the dam was designated as state highway 69. In 1938 this route was redesignated as US 93 and US 466.
  • 2) In 1938 another SR 69 began showing on state maps for the new route between Phoenix and Prescott. This older road still exists along a stretch from Mayer southeast through Cordes and Bumble Bee and terminating in Black Canyon City. The southern portion of SR 69 from Cordes Junction to Phoenix was deleted in the late 1960's after Interstate 17 was completed.
