Highway 69 from Dallas to Big Cabin, OK

It has been years since we have been on Hwy 69 from Dallas to Big Cabin. When we were on it last it was super rough, any update.
  • I take it all the time, I live on the north side of Dallas. It's much better than it was years ago, but there's still a few rough spots in the road through the small towns.
  • It’s fine. Some parts of it improved. I’ve no problem using or recommending it to drive in & out of Dallas on 75.

    I don’t always use it. Depends on where in D/FW I’m heading or departing. Ones AVERAGE speed isn’t high AND the type of day + clock hour also matter. Bad weather it’s not a favorite choice.

    IOW, coming out of the mid-cities or FTW, IH35 to 44 in OKC isn’t any real penalty due to distance because of higher average. “Weather” seals it.

    As a vacationer, 69/75 IS the more scenic & pleasant drive avoiding both OKC & Tulsa.
    Neither of which is bad, but why bother?

    Wave to JIMNLIN as you go past Big Cabin.
